Crispy Hash Brown Bao Buns

Crispy Hash Brown Bao Buns

I’ve been completely obsessed with the hash browns from a local café, they’re golden, crispy, and just ridiculously good. One day, mid-bite, I had the idea to stuff them into soft, fluffy bao buns… and it turned out to be the best decision ever. These bao are loaded with those dreamy hash browns, a punchy Asian slaw, creamy vegan aioli, fresh cucumber ribbons, and all the toppings. Finished with a drizzle of chilli oil and a squeeze of lime, these flavour-packed buns are the perfect mix of crunch, creaminess, and zing.
