Instructions
step 1
Prepare the ingredients
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. In a separate bowl, combine the cabbage and carrots and sesame dressing; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
step 2
Cook the peppers
step 3
Cook the pork belly
Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels. Place on a cutting board with the fat cap facing up; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Heat the same pan on medium-high until hot. Add the pork belly pieces in an even layer. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until browned and heated through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Carefully drain off and discard any excess fat.
*The USDA recommends reheating cooked pork to 140°F.
step 4
Cook the mushrooms
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Carefully add the sautéed aromatics and sliced mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn off the heat.
step 5
Warm the buns & serve your dish
Meanwhile, arrange the bao buns on a plate in an even layer; cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened and heated through. Carefully open the buns; fill each with the spicy mayo, cooked mushrooms, cooked pork belly, sesame slaw, and cilantro (picking the leaves off the stems and tearing into pieces just before adding). Serve the finished buns with the finished peppers on the side. Enjoy!
