Honey-Soy Chicken Bao with Spicy Slaw

1.In a medium bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to create the glaze and set aside.

2.In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper.

3.Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

4.Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, ensuring it's well-coated, then add to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

5.Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey-soy glaze over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

6.In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt to create the spicy mayo. Adjust the spice level to your preference.

7.Add the shredded cabbage and sliced onion to the spicy mayo, tossing to coat evenly. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

8.Steam the bao buns according to package instructions or until fluffy and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

9.To assemble, place a generous spoonful of the spicy slaw inside each bao bun, followed by a few pieces of the honey-soy chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

10.Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Honey-Soy Chicken Bao with Spicy Slaw!
