Ingredients
- 12 Asian steamed buns recipe on this site (or purchase at an Asian Grocery)
- 3-4 large Cabbage leaves or lettuce leaves
- 2 cups Asian Slow Roasted Pork warmed through recipe on this site
- ⅓ cup reserved marinade from slow roasted pork
- 1 large carrot grated
- 4 radishes thinly sliced or julienned
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 scallions thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
- Add about 1/2" of water to a large stock pot that will comfortably hold a bamboo steamer. Line the steamer baskets with cabbage leaves and place buns on the leaves. Depending on the size of your steamer, you may need to do several batches.
- Stack the bamboo baskets on top of each other and secure with the lid. Bring the water to a boil in the pot and carefully set the bamboo steamer into the pot. Cover with the lid and steam the buns for 7-8 minutes or until puffed and light.
- Divide the slow roasted pork between the buns and top with a sprinkle of carrot, radishes, pickled onions, cilantro, green onions and sesame seeds. Drizzle reserved dipping sauce over the buns and enjoy immediately.
