A long time Chinese favourite, bao are steamed buns usually filled with succulent meat. In this recipe, crispy chicken and Korean style bao create tasty little sliders. Steaming the buns gives them an irresistible soft bite which contrasts superbly with the crunchy cucumber. A colourful slaw provides a healthy addition to this dinner.
