ingredients:

  • YO! Pulled Pork Teriyaki
  • Ready-to-steam Bao Buns
  • Cucumber
  • Carrot
  • Spring Onion
  • Fresh Coriander
  • Sesame Seeds – to garnish
  • Optional: Red Chili, Pickled Radish or Pickled Ginger

 

method:

  1. Empty the contents of the pulled pork teriyaki pouch into an ovenproof dish and cover with foil. Place in the center of a pre-heated oven (200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6) for 20 minutes.
  2. Whilst that’s cooking, prep your garnish by julienning cucumber and carrot, and slicing spring onions.
  3. Steam the bao buns according to packet instructions – usually around 8–10 minutes until soft and fluffy.
  4. Once the pork is heated, gently shred with forks if needed and give it a good stir through of the sticky teriyaki sauce, before returning to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
  5. Carefully open the bao buns and load them up with the warm pulled pork, followed by the fresh cucumber, carrot, and spring onions.
  6. Finish with fresh coriander, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and, if you fancy, a few slices of red chili or some pickled veg for extra zing.
