In theory, crab roe pork buns require fresh crab roe to make. This way, they're the freshest, most authentic, most flavorful, and best able to combine the seasoning of crab roe and pork to their fullest.
Just like crab dumplings, only crab dumplings made with fresh crab roe are true crab dumplings, using crab yellow sauce is heresy.
Qin Huai always waits for the crab season to practice making crab dumplings; crab dumplings are the true seasonal special at Yunzhong Restaurant.
But for the crab roe pork buns, Master Qin has his own ideas.
Although Qin Huai rarely makes crab roe pork buns, he believes that whether it's fresh crab roe or crab yellow sauce made from fresh crab roe, both are well suited for crab roe pork buns. Qin Huai even thinks the latter is more fitting for buns.
Qin Huai is happily making the filling.
