Description:
Five spice jackfruit on housemade bao buns with sweet & sour hoisin sauce, cucumber, carrots, cilantro and chopped peanuts. Served with a slaw, ginger coconut long grain rice and garlic orange broccoli.
Contents:
- 12 housemade bao buns

- Warm bao buns wrapped in a towel in microwave for 30-60 seconds or until just warm.
- Toss dressing with slaw.
Plating:
- Split rice and brocolli amongst four plates.
- Split jackfruit on to bao buns amongst the four plates.
- Dress the pinch buns with veggies, peanuts and hoisin sauce.
- Place slaw in seperate plates or bowls.
Notes from Sara:
Our Pastry Chef, Katie, made up some bao buns a few months ago for a Friday Funday meal and they went over very well. We have been asked to repeat that meal more than any other we've made. We decided to mix it up a bit this time though, and feature it for a Meatless Monday Meal. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
