Cooking Steps

Roast the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Pop the chunks onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil then season with Thai spice, salt and pepper. Toss to coat then spread out in a single layer. 
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn the tray halfway through. 

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Pickle the Veg
2
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Trim and thinly slice the radish.
  • Trim the cucumber then halve lengthways. Bash each half with the bottom of a pot or pan. Thinly slice widthways.
  • In a bowl, toss the smashed cucumber and radish with ÂĽ tsp salt (per 2P), apple cider vinegar and 1 tsp sugar (per 2P).
  • Set aside, continuing to stir occasionally.
Fry the Pork
3
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat (no oil). 
  • Once the pan is hot, fry the pork mince and onion until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from the heat and stir through the ketjap manis.
Make the Drizzle
4
  • Add the aioli and gochujang to a bowl.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Roughly chop the peanuts.
Warm the Bao
5
  • Place the bao buns (three at a time) on a plate.
  • Microwave (covered) for 1 min. Keep covered until serving.

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

6
  • Fill each bao with a little mince and pickled veg. 
  • Top with gochujang aioli and chopped peanuts
  • Serve the remaining pickled veg and roast potatoes alongside.
