Char Siu Bao!

My two-tray bamboo steamer cookin' up the bao.

Four fine bao.

Char Siu Bao, steamed pork bun, manapua, call it what you want. It's good!

I decided to cook up some manapua, or Char Siu Bao for the Chinese folks out there. I dug up a recipe from the Honolulu Star Bulletin (hint, google for "char siu bao") and did up a half order (12 buns). It was my first time ever cooking char siu bao. I didn't have cake flour, I didn't use enough sugar, but other than that, I'd say the results were a great success!
