Cooking Steps

Bake the bacon fries
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over diced bacon, chicken-style stock powder, chilli flakes (if using) and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into sticks. • Finely chop garlic. • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine hoisin sauce and the brown sugar. Set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken breast strips, garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.

Cook the chicken
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken strips until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.

Heat the bao buns
4

• Meanwhile, place bao buns on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave on high for 1 minute. Set aside to rest for 1 minute.

Bring it all together
5

• In a large bowl, combine cucumber, mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • Microwave hoisin sauce mixture in 30 second bursts, until warmed through.

Serve up
6

• Gently halve bao buns and evenly spread with some mayonnaise. • Fill bao buns with some cucumber salad, chicken and hoisin sauce. • Serve with chilli bacon fries and any remaining cucumber salad. • Garnish baos and fries with crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
