Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Peel the kumara and cut into bite-sized chunks, then place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Add a dash of water to the tray and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Set aside until you're ready to make lunch. Meanwhile, thinly slice the cucumber into sticks. Slice the chicken breast into 1cm strips.
TIP: Leave the kumara unpeeled if you prefer!
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. In a small bowl, add the toasted sesame seeds, 50g of mayonnaise, the sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar and the rice wine vinegar. Whisk together until combined, then set aside until you're ready to make lunch.
Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken, tossing, until cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, then add the Sichuan garlic paste (see ingredients), season and toss the chicken to coat.
TIP: Cook the chicken in batches if your pan is getting crowded!
While the chicken is cooking, microwave the mini flour tortillas on a plate for 10 second bursts, until warm. In a second small bowl, combine the remaining mayonnaise with the Japanese dressing. Set aside.
Set aside 2 portions of chicken (about 1 cup) and most of the slaw mix until you're ready to make lunch. Build your tacos by spreading the tortillas with some Japanese mayo, then adding a helping of the remaining slaw mix, Asian chicken, the cucumber and crispy shallots.
When you're ready to pack lunch. Thinly slice the pear. Thinly slice the long green chilli (if using). Divide the sesame dressing between two reusable containers. Top with the roasted kumara, reserved chicken, reserved slaw mix, the pear, chilli and roasted peanut packets. Refrigerate. When you're ready to serve lunch, toss to coat the salad in the sesame dressing and sprinkle with the roasted peanuts. Season to taste.
