Cha Siu Bao a.k.a. BBQ pork buns are a traditional Cantonese street food and perennial dim sum favorite. They're famous for their fluffy, cotton-like wrapper that's jam-packed with saucy char siu, a sweet roasted pork filling. Chefs Wanting and Yong like to pair the rich stuffed, steamed buns with a tangy Chinese-style cucumber salad. The salad is light and refreshing, yet packed with flavor thanks to a zingy dressing featuring garlic, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and chili flakes.

About Yong Zhao & Wanting Zhang

We grew up in Northern China, met in college in Beijing and came to Yale for graduate school. Sharing a common love for the food we grew up with, we missed eating authentic and healthy Northern Chinese food every day. We loved the diverse flavors of our home so much that we opened the first Junzi Kitchen in New Haven to share our favorite dishes with our classmates and community in 2015. Since then Junzi Kitchen has been an institution beloved by Chinese and non-Chinese diners alike, and we opened in NYC as one of the highest reviewed Chinese restaurants.

Thanks to the Cook Unity platform, we are able to share those healthy and delicious traditional recipes with you, we can’t wait for you to enjoy!
