Sticky Crispy Chicken Bao Buns

Step 1

First, prepare the Chinese BBQ Sauce, Asian Cabbage Slaw and Steamed Bao Buns, that will all be used in this recipe.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into small thin strips.

Step 3

Mix cornflour and plain flour in a large bowl. Add the chicken and mix thoroughly ensuring every bit of chicken is coated.

Step 4

Heat a generous glug of oil in a large non-stick frying pan and add half of the chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat, then mix and carry on cooking until chicken is browned on all sides and fully cooked through. Spoon the chicken out on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the rest of the chicken. Alternatively, use two pans.

Step 5

Once all the chicken is cooked, wipe the frying pan clean. Add the Chinese BBQ sauce and heat on low for a minute to warm through. Add the chicken back to the pan and stir to coat in sauce.

Step 6

Stuff steamed bao buns with a small spoonful of Asian Cabbage Slaw, top with crispy chicken and dig in!
