Cooking Steps

Roast the potatoes
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. 
• Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. 
• Place on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over sesame 
seeds, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt
and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast 
until tender, 20-25 minutes. 
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. 
• Thinly slice spring onion. 
• In a small bowl, combine garlic, spring onion
and a drizzle of olive oil. 
• In the last 5 minutes of roast time, remove 
potatoes from oven, pour over spring onion 
mixture and sprinkle over a pinch of chilli flakes
(if using). Return to oven and roast until tender. 

Get prepped

• Thinly slice cucumber into sticks. 
• Thinly slice radish.

and a drizzle of olive oil. 

Cook the pork
3

• Add cornflour and the plain flour to the bowl 
with pork. Toss to coat. 
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat 
with enough olive oil to cover the base. 
• When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from 
pork and cook, turning occasionally, until 
browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes.

Add the Korean sauce
4

• Remove pan from heat, drain excess oil, then 
add Korean stir-fry sauce and a splash of 
water, tossing to coat.

Bring it all together

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine cucumber, 
radish, mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of 
vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. 
• 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.

Finish & serve

with garlic aioli. 
• Fill baos with Korean-style pork and cucumber 
salad. 
• Serve with chilli-sesame potatoes and any 
remaining cucumber salad. Enjoy!
