Cooking Steps

Roast the Veg
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Trim the carrot and parsnip then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
  • Pop the carrots and parsnip onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with sesame seeds, salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
Cook the Mince
2
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil). 
  • Once hot, fry the mince and onion for 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Simmer the sauce
3
  • Add the lemongrass paste and Thai spice and fry for 1 min more.
  • Remove from the heat and stir through the hoisin sauce.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Salad
4
  • Trim the salad leaves, then thinly slice or tear into bite-sized pieces.
  • Just before serving toss the salad with half the aioli. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  • Once cooked, toss the roast veg with honey.
Warm the Bao
5
  • Place the bao (three at a time) on a plate.
  • Microwave (covered) for 1 min. Keep covered until serving.

TIP: No microwave? Place a large pot with 2cm of water over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, place a colander lined with baking sheet on the pot. Place the bao (three at a time) on the baking sheet, cover and steam for 3-4 mins.

Fill and Serve
6
  • Fill the bao buns with the hoisin pork and some dressed salad.
  • Arrange the roasted honey sesame veg alongside with any remaining aioli.
