Cooking Steps
• Slice cucumber into thin rounds. • Cut lime into wedges. • Thinly slice long chilli (if using).
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook peeled prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and add Sichuan garlic paste, tossing, until coated.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine cucumber, slaw mix, baby spinach leaves, coconut sweet chilli mayonnaise and a good squeeze of lime juice. Season. • Place gua bao buns on a plate with a small splash of water (just a small splash so they stay fluffy!). • Cover with cling wrap or a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high, 1 minute. Set aside to slightly cool, 1 minute.
• Uncover baos, then gently halve the buns and fill with creamy slaw and Sichuan garlic prawns. • Top with chilli. Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
