Serve crispy homemade Korean Fried Chicken in freshly steamed Bao Buns for a delicious snack or meal!
Give me a bao bun over a sandwich any day! My family are big fans of bao buns too, so I am always finding new ways to serve them, although this particular recipe is mostly for the adults.
If you love the fiery heat of Korean Fried Chicken, you will love them stuffed into a freshly steamed bao bun for an instant snack (or meal, if you choose to eat many of them, which I highly recommend!).
