"Here's what to buy from Aldi if you have to make dinner and are feeling lazy," she says.

Emily reveals that she purchased a slow-cooked pulled beef, bao buns, and a kale salad from her local ALDI store, claiming that these ingredients could make a delicious meal.

"I cooked the beef and the buns and assembled the salad," the TikTok user says.

"The whole process took less than 30 minutes."

One person wrote: "Love this, definitely trying."

"Aldi bao buns are awesome," added another.

The retailer's bao buns seem to be proving their popularity among Australians as shoppers express their rave reviews over these delicious Asian bread rolls.

One shopper posted on Facebook: "Jump on the bao bun’ train ... added sweet & spicy slow-cooked beef & homemade coleslaw."

"Jumped on the bao-wagon. Used some kaleslaw (kale coleslaw) that I had leftover. Thank you to all those people who posted! It’s bloody amazing and will definitely be having them again!" another quipped.

A third chimed in: "Omg, first time trying bao buns and seriously delicious. Pulled BBQ chicken and coleslaw."

The 8-pack Bao Buns retail for only $3.69.

Meanwhile, others suggested other fillings for the buns.

One woman wrote: "Thank you to all you legends that recommended the bao buns and beef brisket. I cooked it tonight and wow!! Finally something else my five-year-old loves! So delicious."

"I love to do pork belly, pickled ginger, cucumber and a bit of lettuce leaves and hoisin sauce," another suggested.

How can the whole meal cost $11.99 (as promoted) as the picture shows the Pulled Beef advertised at $11.99, and the Bao Buns advertised at $3.69 ??, What does the coleslaw cost??

My thoughts also David...perhaps it is because only part of the the meat, some of the buns and not all the coleslaw is used. I hate the idea of 'pulled' meat of any kind and cannot see the sense of it. Maybe I am just an old stick in the mud

Dot, I too get nervous to the reference of "pulled" meat. A butcher friend said its generally inferior meat offcuts, slow cooked in a marinade, shredded, then packaged for sale.
Hard to tell the meat quality once it's "pulled" apart !!

I’m with you. I just don’t get pulled meat. It’s stringy - just horrible.

I never buy 'pulled' meat and do not make any recipes where it calls for meat to be 'pulled apart'.......an absolute insult to meat.
