Gua bao buns with rendang, red cabbage and coriander kimchi mayonnaise
Winner 2024 
You can make this dish as simple or as elaborate as you like. Making your own rendang is of course a treat, but you can also use ready made rendang. Our butchers have lovingly prepared it low and slow using USDA Prime Black Angus beef. Robert from @vurigekolen used it to create this colorful dish. Big steps, quick result—and still a beautiful bun to serve to your guests!
P.S. Not a fan of rendang? There are plenty of ready made stews to choose from. What about Korean short ribs, Texas brisket or pulled beef? All perfect toppings for your bun—or just about any dish. You can find them here.
Preparing coriander kimchi mayonnaise
Massage the thinly sliced red cabbage with the salt until it softens and releases some moisture. Let it sit for a moment. Mix the finely chopped kimchi and half of the coriander with the mayonnaise to create a creamy coriander kimchi mayonnaise. And if you’re not a fan of coriander, you can of course simply leave it out.
Ready made rendang
Heat the rendang until thoroughly warm in a saucepan or in the oven. Then steam the gua bao buns briefly or warm them in the microwave for 30 seconds so they become soft and won’t tear when filling.
Open the warm buns and fill them with rendang. Add the red cabbage and kimchi mayonnaise.
Finish with some coriander (or not) and serve immediately.
So easy anyone can do it.
ENJOY!
