We are fans of bao buns! Why? Because you can fill them with anything you like, and they're also an ideal way to eat more vegetables. This easy-to-make dish proves it. The base is pulled chicken mixed with pak choi and a delicious sauce made from soy sauce and ketjap. Top this base with crunchy vegetables like cucumber and carrot. Do you have extra vegetables or prefer other ones? No problem! Just make your own combination, super convenient!
