How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the chicken cut into strips and cook until golden, about 5 minutes, until it releases a savory aroma.
- Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan, mix well, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- In a small pot, boil water and cook the bao leaves for 10 minutes. Drain and place on a flat surface to cool slightly.
- Divide the cooked teriyaki chicken among the bao leaves. Add a tablespoon of chopped lettuce, a slice of red onion, and some cilantro leaves for a burst of freshness.
- Close the bao and cook in a frying pan over medium heat, spreading a little butter so that they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve with sweet soy sauce separately on the side for an extra layer of sweetness.
