I've never had a failure with this recipe. One reason that I like this recipe is that I have made them as small as golf balls and as large as softballs and the filling always comes out even with the amount of dough. Although the original recipe is for the bread machine I make mine in a stand mixer. The most important thing to remember is to not make a very soft dough. It has to be able to stand up to the pressure of the hot filling. This is my recipe for the Char Siu.
Are they hard to make? Maybe the first couple times but you soon learn to wrap them. Just don't fill them too full.
