Chef Fernandez serves these petite sandwiches as tapas, fusing an Asian idea with Spanish ingredients. They make a good choice for the growing number of snack menus and bar menus showing up in restaurants. Snacks also are increasingly in demand at noncommercial venues, as customers seek midafternoon nibbles that are more substantial and interesting than a bag of chips or cookies.

3 ½ oz. roast lamb
4 bao buns

1 3/4 oz. cucumber, sliced
4 fresh cilantro leaves
