Step 1
Chop bacon into 1/2-inch pieces. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy and brown, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Slice scallions into thin rings. Whisk together mayo, sriracha, half the scallions, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 3
Crack eggs into the skillet with bacon grease. Scramble over medium heat, breaking into small curds, until just set, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Warm bao buns in the microwave (20 seconds) or in the skillet off heat, then gently peel open with your thumbs.
Step 5
Spread 1 tbsp sriracha mayo inside each bun. Divide scrambled eggs and bacon among buns, then top with remaining scallions and cilantro.
Step 6
Serve immediately while bao are still warm.
