Cooking Steps

Cook the fries
1

• See ‘Top Steak Tips!’ (below left).
• Cut potato into fries.
• Set air fryer to 200°C.
• In a medium bowl, combine fries, sweet soy 
seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Place fries into the air fryer basket and cook for  
10 minutes.
• Shake the basket, then cook until golden, a further 
10-15 minutes. 


TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C  
fan-forced. Cut potato into fries and season as above. 
Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil,  
season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 
20-25 minutes.

• Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, slice cucumber and carrot into ribbons. 

• Cut Japanese tofu into 2cm chunks. 

Cook the tofu
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
• Add tofu and cook, tossing until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic stir-fry sauce and the soy sauce, turning tofu to coat, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate to rest.

Steam the bao buns
4

• Meanwhile, place gua 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. 

Toss the salad
5

• In a second medium bowl, combine mixed salad 
leaves, cucumber, carrot and a drizzle of vinegar 
and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Finish & serve

• Uncover, then gently halve bao buns and spread with some garlic aioli. Fill buns with some rainbow ribbon salad and glazed tofu. Drizzle over any remaining sauce from the pan.

• Bring everything to the table. Serve with seasoned fries, remaining salad and aioli. Enjoy
