Crispy chicken bao with mayo & cucumber

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
An Asian reinterpretation of the breaded chicken sandwich. Panko breadcrumbs (Japanese crumbs) create a much crispier coating than traditional breadcrumbs due to their splintered structure, and absorb less oil. The trio of hot, crispy chicken, cold, crunchy cucumber and soft, warm steamed bun is an unbeatable combination.

Instructions

1 ✓

Making bao dough: kneading, proving (1 hour), shaping, resting, steaming (12 minutes).

Tip: Have patience with the proving!
2 ✓

Cut the meat into palm-sized pieces and salt them. Bread: flour -> beaten egg -> panko breadcrumbs.

Tip: Press the panko crumbs onto the meat slightly with your hand.
3 ✓

Fry in hot oil until golden brown, then drain.

Tip: Drain on a wire rack, not kitchen paper, so the bottom doesn't go soggy from the steam.
4 ✓

Fill the bao with the mayonnaise and cucumber.

Tip: The freshness of the cucumber is essential with the fried meat.

Recipe FAQ

The coating falls off the meat.
Before breading, toss the meat in plain flour; this acts as 'glue' for the egg.
The crumbs burnt but the meat is raw.
The oil was too hot. Thicker slices of meat need to be fried at a lower temperature for longer.
