Cooking Steps

1

• 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.

2

• Meanwhile, slice cucumber into sticks. Thinly
slice radish and onion (see ingredients). Slice
lime into wedges.
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a medium bowl, combine sweet soy
seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add
chicken, toss to combine.

3

• 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.

4

• 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.

5

• Meanwhile, combine mixed salad leaves,
radish, cucumber, the sesame oil and a
generous squeeze of lime 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 for 1 minute. Set aside to rest
for 1 minute.

6

• 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!
