• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • Thinly slice carrot and cucumber into rounds. • Thinly slice spring onion. • In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and a generous pinch of salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg and add garlic. In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. • Dip peeled prawns into the flour mixture to coat, then into the egg and finally into the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. • Cook crumbed prawns in batches, until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Wipe out frying pan and return medium-low heat. Add katsu paste (see ingredients), the brown sugar, water and butter. Cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, carrot, cucumber, garlic aioli and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • 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.
• Uncover, then gently halve the buns. • Fill bao buns with some cabbage salad and prawns. Drizzle over some katsu sauce. • Serve with potato fries and any remaining cabbage salad. • Sprinkle spring onion over fries to serve. Enjoy!
