Instructions

step 1
Prepare the ingredients & make the slaw
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Quarter the lime(s). Thinly slice the cucumber(s) on an angle. Place in a bowl; add the juice of 2 lime wedges (or 4 wedges for 4 servings). Stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally. In a large bowl, combine the dressing and the juice of the remaining lime wedges. Add the cabbage and carrots and sliced green tops of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat.

step 2
Form & cook the patties
In a bowl, combine the beef, mushroom duxelles, cornstarch, and sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into 4 patties (or 8 patties for 4 servings), about 1/2-inch thick. In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing down on the patties with a spatula to flatten, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.
The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for beef.

step 3
Warm the buns & serve your dish
Just before serving, wrap the bao buns in a wet paper towel. Arrange on a plate in an even layer. Microwave in 30 second intervals, or until just softened and heated through. Carefully open the buns;spread the hoisin sauce on both sides, then fill each with the marinated cucumber(s)and cooked patties. Serve the finished buns with the slaw on the side. Enjoy!
