For a spicier Hambun, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling. To prevent the buns from becoming soggy, lightly toast them before adding the filling. Hambuns can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure they are heated through. For freezing, wrap the assembled Hambuns tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed. Consider adding a layer of Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce to the buns before adding the filling for an extra layer of flavor.
