What could be better than a sticky sweet and savoury succulent pork belly encased in a fluffy bao bun with fresh crunchy herbs and veggies and a creamy, spicy sauce? My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Whether you’re looking for a delicious snack or a satisfying meal, my sticky pork bao is a must-try recipe. To save time, you can cook the pork ahead of time. See notes on reheating method.

Not sure whether I like this one or the chicken bao buns better! Both are delicious and so easy to make!

So wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for taking the time to write. The pork is the winner for me, although hubby and the kids prefer the chicken! Nic x
This recipe is on repeat on our menu plan. I even make it using tofu!
I marinate a full block of tofu sliced into 1cm thick pieces in the sauce (I don’t cook it just mix it all together but omit the water) until 30 minutes before the pork is ready. Then pop the tofu in to bake uncovered, turning halfway through. Perfect everytime!!!
