A combination of southern pulled pork with the asian bao bun all rolled into a portable meal
- 2 Cans Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Biscuits
- 1 Pound Pulled Pork or make your own pulled pork
- 1 Quart Coleslaw or make your own coleslaw
- 1/2 Cup Barbeque Sauce
-
Separate the Pillsbury biscuits and place on 5" square parchment paper. Press with the palm of your hand into 5" X 6" oval, fold in half. Keep bao buns covered loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel until they are ready to steam.
-
Place as many biscuits as your steamer will allow in a single layer, keeping about an inch between each one.
-
Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes or until they become puffy and white. If not using right away make sure to keep them covered with plastic wrap to keep the moisture in. If the buns are taking too long or too sticky, then place a clean kitchen towel over the pot held under the lid to keep the condensation from dripping back onto the buns, Make sure the towel doesn't hang down over the pot too much to keep from catching on fire!
This is a fast, easy way to offer a unique dinner to your family. Making the homemade coleslaw is INCREDIBLY easy and fast, literally only 5-10 minutes and much less expensive than store bought.
As for the pulled pork, I love smoking mine on our Big Green Egg smoker, but you can easily make the pulled pork in your slow cooker or oven. It's a hands off recipe but the cooking time ranges from 4-12 hours, depending on how tender you want the meat to be.
If eating the next day you can wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave 15 seconds at a time or you can put in a 275 degree oven, cover with foil and warm for about 15 minutes.
If you would like a more Asian version some good substitutions are Hoisin sauce instead of BBQ and kimchi instead of coleslaw
