Cooking Steps
• Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Cut potato into bite-sized chunks.
• Cut streaky bacon into 1cm pieces.
• Place potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 15 minutes.
• Remove tray from the oven, then add bacon to the potato. Roast until golden, 10-12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice cucumber (see ingredients) into sticks. Thinly slice radish.
• Slice lemon into wedges.
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a medium bowl, combine chicken, sweet soy seasoning 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, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, radish, cucumber, the sesame oil and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. 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.
• Gently halve bao buns and evenly spread with some lime & chilli mayo.
• Fill bao buns with sweet-soy chicken and some cucumber salad. Tear over coriander.
• Serve with bacon potatoes and any remaining cucumber salad and mayo. Enjoy!

Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: Reviewers found the dish tasty overall, though one suggested a hoisin-style sauce could complement the sweet-soy chicken well in the bao buns.
