Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks.
  • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
  • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.

Pickle the cucumber
2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds.
  • Thinly slice long chilli (if using).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
  • Add cucumber and chilli to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside.

TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!

Start the wombok
3
  • Cut Bambino wombok lengthways into quarters.
  • Place on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
  • Roast until just tender, 10 minutes.
Get prepped & finish the wombok
4
  • While wombok is roasting, place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
  • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, sweet soy seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • In a small heatproof bowl, combine miso paste, the butter, honey and a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper. Microwave until butter is melted, 10 second bursts.
  • Once wombok is done, remove tray from oven and drizzle over miso glaze. Return to oven and roast until caramelised, 8-10 minutes.
5
  • While miso glaze is caramelising, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
  • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Serve up
6
  • Drain pickled cucumber.
  • Divide soy chicken, charred miso Bambino wombok and sweet potato chunks between plates.
  • Serve with pickled chilli cucumbers. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the unique taste of wombok, with some finding it surprisingly cheesy. The miso glaze received mixed reviews for flavour impact.
  • Ease of prep: Several found cooking wombok a fun, new experience. Some suggested cutting it into smaller pieces for easier eating.
  • Suggestions: For crispier results, consider cooking the wombok longer or reducing excess liquid. The miso glaze may need thickening for better adherence.
