The garnish:
- Heat a little fat in a frying pan and cook the chicken fillets for 10 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
- Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey and finely chopped garlic.
- Continue cooking on a low heat for 10 minutes.
- Leave to cool and cut into slices.
- Cut the cucumber and the Royal Crèmeux into slices.
- Top each bao bun with cucumber, chicken fillet, Royal Crèmeux, chives and a little chicken cooking sauce.
