Cooking Steps

Roast the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Halve the potatoes, quartering any larger pieces, and pop them onto a lined baking tray. 
  • Drizzle with oil, then season with Thai spice, salt and pepper.
  • Spread out in a single layer.
  • Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.
Cook the Pork
2
  • Meanwhile, remove the pork from the packaging and pop into an oven dish.
  • Cover with foil and cook on the middle shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins. 
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven, add the gochujang and pull apart with the help of two forks. IMPORTANT: Ensure the pork is piping hot all the way through.
Pickle the Cucumber

  • Meanwhile, trim the cucumber then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, ¼ tsp salt (per 2P) and 1 tsp sugar (per 2P). 
  • Add the cucumber and mix well then set aside to pickle.
Make the Slaw
4
  • Halve the cabbage, cut out and discard the tough core, then thinly slice.
  • In another medium bowl, combine the aioli and cabbage.

Warm the Bao Buns
