How do you make bao buns?
Prepare the filling. Start by marinating your chosen protein or vegetables. Chicken is often cooked in soy sauce, garlic, ginger and a touch of honey for balance.
Cook the filling. Pan-fry or bake the filling until cooked through and lightly caramelised. Sauces should be glossy and coat the ingredients well.
Steam the bao buns. Place bao buns in a steamer or microwave according to packet instructions until soft and fluffy.
Prepare the toppings. Shred cabbage or carrot, slice spring onions and mix a light dressing if using slaw.
Assemble and serve. Fill each bao bun with the cooked filling, add toppings and drizzle over any remaining sauce before serving warm.
