Instructions
- Carnitas
Mix orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder and salt; completely coat raw pork pieces.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
Place pork and marinade into a heavy pot; add water to cover the meat.
Bring liquid to a boil and reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 2 hours and check every 30 minutes to make sure there is still liquid left in the pan.
Raise heat to medium-high; stir meat to break apart.
Cook for an additional 30-45 minutes until all the liquid is evaporated and the meat starts to brown in the fat rendered from the pork during cooking.
When the meat falls apart and is brown enough on the edges, remove from heat and let cool completely; refrigerate until needed.
- Chili Slaw
Mix together all slaw ingredients in a medium size bowl.
Refrigerate prepared for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend, stirring occasionally.
- Assembly
Flatten thawed biscuit dough evenly into a 3-inch circle on a board lightly dusted with flour.
Deposit a #40 scoop (approx. 1 oz) of Carnitas onto the center of each dough piece.
Add a #40 scoop (approx. 1 oz) of Chili Slaw on top.
Crimp edges of the biscuit together to form a ball; place on parchment paper (or on a flattened muffin pan liner) in a steamer basket, smooth side up, for 20-22 minutes.
Serve bao warm with condiment of your choice.
