Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinating the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinating

    Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grilling the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Slicing the Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.

Preparing the Bao

  1. 5

    Steaming the Bao Buns

    While the chicken rests, steam the bao buns according to package instructions until soft and fluffy, usually about 10 minutes.

Assembling the Bao

  1. 6

    Filling the Bao

    Take a steamed bao bun and fill it with sliced grilled chicken, cucumber slices, julienned carrots, cilantro leaves, and radish slices.

Serving the Bao

  1. 7

    Garnishing

    Drizzle extra Sriracha sauce over the filled bao and serve with lime wedges on the side.
