For the chicken mixture:

1.5 g black pepper powder
15 g sambal oelek
10 ml soy sauce
1 egg
For the extra:
Milk (for brushing)
For the cornstarch mixture:
150 g cornstarch
2 g salt
1.5 g black pepper powder
3 g onion powder
For the sauce:
120 g mayonnaise
75 g chili sauce
20 g sambal oelek
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the water, milk, and honey. Sprinkle the instant yeast over the mixture and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Add the egg, sunflower oil, flour, salt, and butter. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Make the chicken mixture: Cut the chicken into cubes or mince it. Season with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, black pepper, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and egg. Mix well.
- Prepare the cornstarch mixture: Combine the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Toss the chicken in the mixture for a crispy texture.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a pan and cook the chicken until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Shape the buns: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Punch down the dough and divide into portions. Flatten each portion, place a spoonful of chicken mixture, and seal the dough around the filling. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Top the buns: Combine the Parmesan, cayenne powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle generously over each bun.
- Bake the buns: Brush the buns with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Make the sauce: Mix mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sambal oelek in a bowl until smooth.
- Serve: Once the buns are baked, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the spicy mayo or serve with it on the side for dipping.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or a plant-based meat alternative.
For extra spice, add more sambal oelek or cayenne powder to the chicken mixture or sauce.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days, and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
