Ingredients
2 Tbsp | Canola oil |
400 g | Minced chicken (Main) |
2 ½ tsp | Grated root ginger |
2 ½ tsp | Chilli bean paste |
2 ½ tsp | Soy sauce |
3 cloves | Garlic, crushed |

Directions
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Sauté the chicken in batches, pressing with a fork to break up any lumps.
- Add the ginger, soy sauce, chilli bean paste and garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Reserve about 8 coriander leaves. Chop the remainder and add to the chicken with the water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Mix the cornflour and a little water to a paste. Stir into the chicken cooking until thickened.
- Meanwhile, place the frozen buns in a large steamer. Cook for 10 minutes or until heated through. Split in half and fill with the chicken. Top with the reserved coriander, peanuts and carrot
