Simple, easy and VERY delicious, low-calorie Chinese-style food.
We all LOVE bao buns here at Lo-Dough, but if looking to cut calories, up your fibre or are avoiding carbs or gluten for any other reason, we’ve found that our bases are a brilliant replacement for the buns themselves. Simply cut your Lo-Dough base in half and add as many tasty fillings as you can fit in. Fold over and warm the whole thing through in a steamer. One base makes two perfectly portioned Lo-Dough baos. We’ve gone all out, but these are a great way to use up some leftover stir fry and roasted meats, etc. In this case, we've gone with a roasted pork and stir fried veg bao, with delicious fresh garnishes.
Ingredients
- Half an Original
Lo-Dough Base - 100g pork belly/shoulder cooked (we glazed ours with hoisin sauce and slowly roasted)
- 50g mixed stir-fried vegetables
