Method

Cook the pigs in blankets to pack instructions. Once cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthways. Meanwhile, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha; season with black pepper.
Heat the bao buns to pack instructions. Open out, then spread over the sriracha mayonnaise. Fill with the cucumber, then top each with a halved pig in blanket, spring onions, chilli (if using) and coriander. Sprinkle over the crispy onions, then fold back to serve.

Tip: To make your bao buns extra festive, swap out the sriracha mayonnaise for a dollop of cranberry sauce.
