• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Cut potato into fries.
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with chicken-style stock powder and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat.
• Spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• In the last 5 minutes of cook time, remove fries from oven, then sprinkle over diced bacon and chilli flakes (if using). Return to oven and cook until bacon is golden.

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

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, cook chicken breast strips, tossing, until browned and turning occasionaly, 6-8 minutes.

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

• 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.

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

• Gently halve bao buns and evenly spread with some garlic aioli.
• Fill bao buns with some cucumber salad, chicken and hoisin sauce.
• Serve with chilli-bacon fries and any remaining cucumber salad.
• Sprinkle over crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
