Instructions
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into wedges. • Place on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over sesame seeds, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice cucumber into sticks. Thinly slice radish and onion (see ingredients). Slice lemon into wedges. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine sweet soy seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken, tossing to combine.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until starting to brown, 4-6 minutes. • Add sweet chilli sauce, the vinegar and a splash of water, stirring to combine. Cook until reduced, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Wipe out the frying pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. 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, combine mixed salad leaves, radish, cucumber, the sesame oil and a generous squeeze of lemon juice in a large bowl. Season to taste. • Place bao buns on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave on high, 1 minute. Set aside to slightly cool, 1 minute.
• Uncover, then gently halve bao buns and evenly spread with some chilli bacon jam. • Fill bao buns with sweet soy chicken and some cucumber salad. Tear over coriander. • Serve with sesame wedges, mayonnaise and any remaining cucumber salad. Enjoy!
