TIPS & NOTES

Scallions can be soaked in water to make them crispy. This however can only be done once so it will last until the end of the day.

You can tell when the buns are done by the texture, if hard needs more time, soft with a little spring is perfect, soft and grown in size means overcooked.

Buns can be pre-steamed and hot held. Do not recommend holding for more than 35 minutes as quality will deteriorate and buns will over-steam.

Do not cut cilantro, it’s better presented with whole leaves.

Do not make chicken strips by cutting vertically, cut horizontally.
