Step 1

Place the tamari or soy sauce, garlic, eggs and chicken in a medium bowl. Toss to coat the chicken.

Step 2

Place the flour, salt and pepper in a separate large bowl. Drain the excess egg mixture from the chicken, then toss the chicken in the flour to coat. Ensure the chicken is fully coated on all sides.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a heavy-based deep frying pan over medium heat (see note 4). Cook the chicken in batches for 6–8 minutes, turning once halfway through, then set aside to drain on a paper towel.

Step 4

Serve the bao buns topped with the crispy chicken, carrot, cucumber, coriander, sriracha mayo and a drizzle of tamari or soy sauce. Add the chilli (if using).
