The best bao bun filling ideas

Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike will love these Korean-inspired tofu bao buns. The secret to getting crispy tofu is coating it in cornflour and pan-frying in neutral oil until golden-brown. Our Asian Slaw Kit makes an easy topping, loaded with crunchy shredded cabbage and carrot with edamame. Finish with a drizzle of our Korean Chilli BBQ Marinade for a kick of fiery flavour.

Embrace tropical flavours with these crispy fish bao buns, infused with fragrant coconut and lime. Crust flaky haddock fillets in our versatile Coconut and Lime Seasoning, loaded with desiccated coconut, garlic, red chillies, and dried lime, then pan-fry until cooked through. Make a zingy salsa topping with crushed peas, spring onion, sesame oil and a squeeze of lime juice. Finish with a dollop of creamy aioli and a drizzle of our Mango And Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce.
