Cooking Steps

Bake the fries
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Cut potato into fries.
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive 
oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. 
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries 
between two trays.  

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, cut apple into thin sticks.
• SPICY! Use less sriracha if you’re sensitive to heat! 
In a small bowl, combine lime & chilli mayo and 
sriracha.
• In a medium bowl, combine oyster sauce, ginger 
lemongrass paste, sweet chilli sauce and a splash 
of water.

Cook the pork belly
3

• When fries have 10 minutes remaining, using a 
paper towel, pat slow-cooked pork belly and wipe 
off any excess fat until dry. Cut pork into  
2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, cook pork belly (no need for 
oil) over high heat, tossing, until golden, 
8-10 minutes.
• In the last minute of cook time, drain oil, then add 
oyster sauce mixture, turning pork belly to coat. 
TIP: Start the pork belly in a cold frying pan to help the 
fat melt without burning.  

Heat the buns
4

• When pork belly has 5 minutes remaining, 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 slaw
5

• In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, 
apple, half the sriracha mayo and a drizzle of olive 
oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Finish & serve
6

• Uncover, then gently halve the buns.
• Fill buns with some apple slaw and sticky 
lemongrass pork belly.
• Drizzle over any remaining sauce from pan.
• Serve with fries, remaining sriracha mayo and 
remaining apple slaw. Enjoy!
