We love our bao buns! Hoisin sauce is a thick, fragrant sauce commonly used in Cantonese cuisine as a glaze for meat, an addition to stir fry, or as a dipping sauce. It is the perfect flavouring for the pork bao buns. Complemented by some quick pickled cucumber, crunchy carrot and creamy mayo, it's quick and delicious.
