With Sweet Chili Mayo, Cabbage Slaw & Peanuts makes Glazed Pork Belly & Mushroom Bao Buns one of the Pork options in Blue Apron's rotating weekly lineup.
A bun is a type of bread that is round and small enough that it can generally be eaten hand-held. Whether a bun is considered sweetened or unsweetened differs between countries: it is considered sweetened in England, Scotland and Wales, a savory bread in Northern Ireland, and either a sweet bread or a savory bread roll in the United States.

How to make it
- Rinse and dry all produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Slice the scallions, keeping the white bases and green tops separate. Quarter the cucumbers lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise. Halve the limes and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Add the sesame dressing and stir. Add the cabbage and carrots, cucumbers, and peanuts; season and stir. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy glaze, 2 tablespoons water (4 tbsp for 4 servings), and as much curry paste as you like. In a third bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sweet chili sauce.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the mushrooms and white scallion bases; season. Cook stirring occasionally 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Add the vinegar (it may spatter). Cook stirring frequently 1-2 minutes until the mushrooms are coated and the liquid cooks off. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.
- Pat the pork belly dry. Place fat-cap up and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat the same pan over medium-high. Add the pork belly in an even layer. Cook 4-6 minutes until browned. Flip and cook 3-5 minutes until browned and heated through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain off excess fat. USDA minimum for reheating cooked pork: 140°F.
- Heat the pan over medium-high. Add the pork belly and curry-soy glaze (it may spatter). Cook stirring frequently 30 seconds to 1 minute until the sauce thickens and the pork is coated.
- Wrap the bao buns in a damp paper towel. Microwave in 30-second intervals until softened and heated through. Carefully open the buns; spread the sweet chili mayo on both sides, then fill each with the glazed pork belly, cooked mushrooms, and green scallion tops. Serve with the cabbage slaw on the side.
