Instructions

Making Sticky Korean Chicken Steamed Buns is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Make Marinade: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until combined.
3. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened.
5. Prepare Steamed Buns: While the chicken is cooking, steam the buns according to the package instructions, usually about 10 minutes.
6. Assemble Buns: Once the buns are steamed, carefully open them and add a generous amount of the sticky chicken to each one.
7. Add Toppings: Top the chicken with sliced cucumbers, pickled carrots, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.
8. Serve Immediately: Serve the buns warm, allowing your guests to enjoy the flavors fresh out of the steamer.
