Instructions
Prep pork
- Whisk 1 egg in a small bowl. Put 1 tbsp flour in a shallow dish. Combine ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs, ¼ cup desiccated coconut and 1 tsp Chinese five spice in a separate shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Trim any fat and slice 500 g pork stir-fry into strips. Dust the pork in the flour, shake off the excess, and then dip in the egg and coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
Cook pork
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frypan on high heat. Cook the pork for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Season with salt.Tip: Drain on a wire rack over a paper towel - this will keep the crumb crisp.
Stir-fry greens
- While the pork is cooking, trim 1 head Asian greens and halve them widthwise and then lengthways. Trim 1 cup frozen green beans. Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frypan over high heat. Stir-fry the Asian greens and beans for 2 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add 2 tbsp water, 2 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp honey and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Taste, then season with salt.
Warm buns & mix mayo
- Meanwhile, remove 6 bao buns from the packet and cook according to packet directions. Combine 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce and 2 tbsp kewpie mayo in a small bowl. Once bao buns are ready, split them and spread with the sweet chilli mayo.
To finish
- Thinly slice 1 spring onion at an angle. Pick 1 bunch coriander leaves, discarding the stems.
To serve
- Fill the bao buns with the pork, some garlic greens, spring onion and coriander leaves. Divide the bao buns between plates with the remaining garlic greens on the side.
