OPEN for ingredients! This is Kung Bak Bao, but with the juiciest chicken thighs instead of the more traditional pork belly... making this completely Halal!
These are addictively sweet and savoury braised meat in a chinese-style foldover mantou bun - basically chinese burgers and they're so good and surprisingly easy to make.
Kong Bak Bao (kong ba bao / kong bak pau / gua pao) is a classic Chinese Hokkien dish of braised pork belly stuffed in a mantou foldover bun. This version replaces the pork belly with juicy chicken thighs, making this completely Halal!
