How To Cook

Place frozen Gua Bao Buns in a steamer as soon as the water has started to boil. Steam for 5-8 minutes on medium heat.

Microwave
Place 2-3 pieces of Gua Bao Buns into a microwaveable container and sprinkle a small amount of water on the buns. Cover with a lid and microwave on medium heat for 1 minute (800W).

  2. Lightly coat 4 pieces of chicken thigh with some potato starch.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Fry the coated chicken, skin side down for 2-3 minutes or until brown. Turn the chicken over then add the teriyaki sauce, and stir the season and coat the chicken evenly. Simmer for 5-6 minutes on medium-high heat until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat.
