Tips and Variations
VEGETARIAN
GLUTEN FREE - Unfortunately we have not been able to source GF bao buns. The best alternative we've found is to use a gf hamburger bun, cut in half and warmed through. Fold it in half like a bao bun.
* The pickled radishes will keep in the fridge for up to a week in a sealed glass container.
