Template:Chinesename Cha siu baau are Cantonese roast pork buns (baozi). The buns are filled with barbecue-flavoured char siu pork and onions. They are served as a type of dim sum during yum cha and are also sold in Chinese bakeries. There are two kinds of cha siu baau: steamed (white outside) and baked (brown colour and with glaze). A variety, made with puff pastry, are called cha siu so.

Although visually similar to other types of steamed baozi, the dough of steamed cha siu baau is unique since it makes use both yeast and baking powder as leavening . This unique mix of leavening gives the dough of cha siu baau a soft, fluffy, and almost cake-like texture. Indeed the texture of the dough is so appealing that many other types of steamed baozi are made using cha siu baau dough.
