Cooking Steps

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, Thai spice, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. 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.

2

Trim and quarter the radish.

Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

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 ¼ tsp salt (per 2P), apple cider vinegar and 1 tsp sugar (per 2P).
Set aside, continuing to stir occasionally.

3

Place a large pan over medium-high heat (no oil). 
Once the pan is hot, add the pork mince and onion and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Remove from the heat and stir through the ketjap manis. 

4

Mix the aioli with the gochujang in a bowl.

5

Place the bao buns (three at a time) on a plate.
Microwave (covered) for 1 min. Keep covered until serving.

Or alternatively, you can steam the bao buns. 
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.

6

Inside each bao bun , add minced beef and pickled veg. Top with gochujang aioli and chopped peanuts . Serve the remaining pickled veg and roasted potatoeson the side.
