Secret of Kao-Chi Shanghai style fried pork bun
Kao-Chi Shanghai style fried pork bun's dough is meticulously fermented using sourdough starter. This starter is a piece of naturally fermented dough left from each day's production and then kneaded into new dough the next day for fermentation. Kao-Chi's master chefs maintain the starter's life with precise temperature and humidity, ensuring the bun has flourished for over 75 glorious years.
Just like the treasured aged braised sauce that's repeatedly simmered, the sourdough starter that's been passed down for over 75 years in Kao-Chi's kitchen imparts a unique texture and aroma to the dough. It is absolutely unparalleled by ordinary yeast dough.
The meat filling is made from the tender part of the pork front leg, mixed with specially simmered broth to bring out the natural flavors with the simplest seasoning. When the meat filling combines with the dough, the juices soak into the bottom, and a high heat fry results in a crispy, aromatic delight.
