Cooking instructions

Cooking Mode turns the method into large, slide-by-slide instructions with timers, read-aloud, screen-awake and optional voice controls.

  1. 1

    Prepare the bao

    Prepare the bao buns according to the packet instructions. Keep warm and soft while preparing the filling.

  2. 2

    Prepare the chicken

    Mix buttermilk, garlic, salt and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces, toss to coat and leave to marinate.

  3. 3

    Fry the chicken

    Mix flour and cornflour. Coat the marinated chicken thoroughly, then fry in hot cooking oil until golden, crisp and cooked through. Drain well.

  4. 4

    Make the sauce

    Combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil and garlic in a small pan. Simmer gently until smooth and slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Toss & coat

    Add the fried chicken to the sauce and toss until every piece is evenly coated in the sticky Korean-style glaze.

  6. 6

    Assemble & serve

    Fill the warm bao buns with cucumber, glazed chicken and pickled red onion. Finish with spring onions and sesame seeds and serve immediately.
