Cooking Steps
1
- Slice the cucumber into thin sticks about 5cm long.
- In a bowl, mix 1 tsp sugar with 2 tbsp white wine vinegar. Add the cucumber and season with salt. Mix well and set aside until serving, stirring occasionally to combine the flavours.
- Heat 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh strips and fry for 5 - 6 minutes until golden brown.
- Add the barbecue sauce and 1 tsp soy sauce and mix everything together.
2
- Boil a shallow layer of water in a large pot or saucepan with a lid.
- Line a sieve or colander with some kitchen paper and place this over the pan, making sure it doesn't touch the water.
- Put the bao buns in the sieve/colander, then put the lid on and let them steam for 3 - 4 minutes (see Tip).
Tip: take care that the buns don't get wet when you take the lid off the pan!
3
- Spread the mayo onto the inside of both buns.
- Stuff the buns with the chicken, slaw mix and quick-pickled cucumber.
