Cooking Steps
ā¢ Slice lemon into wedges. ā¢ In a medium bowl, combine slaw mix, sesame dressing and a squeeze of lemon juice.
ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. ā¢ Cook pulled pork, stirring, until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. ā¢ Stir in hoisin sauce and the water until combined, 1-2 minutes (add a splash more water if the pork looks dry!).
ā¢ Meanwhile, place gua bao buns on a plate with a small splash of water (just a small splash so they stay fluffy!). ā¢ Cover with cling wrap or a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. ā¢ Set aside for 1 minute.
ā¢ Uncover buns, then gently halve. ā¢ Fill each bun with sesame slaw and hoisin pulled pork. ā¢ Sprinkle with crushed peanuts. Serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
