Korean Turkey Bao

Makes enough sauce for 4 baos 

Baos are essentially a light, fluffy steamed bread, that is folded to create a little pocket to fill with deliciousness.

You can find ready to steam bao buns in supermarkets nowadays. I still get mine from the freezer in the Chinese supermarket though, a more cost effective way if you need lots! 

This is a good way to use up some of your leftover turkey. We had a bao feast last New Year’s Eve and this was one of the favourite fillings!

Ingredients:

1 heaped tbsp gochujang

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp caster sugar

To serve:

Shredded (cooked) turkey

Strips of cucumber

Strips of leek or spring onion

Steamed bao buns

Step 1: Combine the sauce ingredients.  You will have a thick dark paste.

Step 2: Over a gentle heat mix the sauce and shredded turkey.  Allow the turkey to warm through and the sauce to become sticky. 

Step 3: Serve the spicy sticky turkey in freshly steamed bao buns with strips of crunchy cucumber and leeks.
