    I found out what it does from a recipe that actually wants the attribute....

    I've made dorayaki a couple of times - it's a Japanese sweet that's kind of like little pancakes with sweet bean paste in between. The recipe I used has whipped egg whites and corn syrup. The egg whites give the cakes a bit of spongy lightness and the corn syrup gives them a bit of bounce and a little stickyness (which is useful because they stick to one another nicely after you put the bean paste in the middle)

    (btw Kayro syrup is not HFC - HFC is corn syrup, but it has been chemically modified... kind of like the difference between regular oil and hydrogenated oil)

    I think you may talking about 'pau' or 'bau' which is a steamed bun that can have a sweet or savoury filling. The sweet variety can be filled with a lotus bean paste or sometimes red bean paste (I think it's also called aduki beans). A common savoury filling is made with chinese roast pork, but there are other fillings too. Looks like this: http://www.smokywok.com/2011/02/stea...ns-recipe.html ? It's common to get both sweet and savoury versions as part of a dim sum selection, at least over here and in the Far East.
