Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into fries. • Place fries on lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. • In the last 5 minutes of cook time, remove from oven, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese and bake until golden and crisp, 5 minutes.

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

• When fries have 10 minutes remaining, halve snacking tomato. Grate carrot. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Just before serving, add snacking tomatoes, carrot and spinach, rocket & fennel mix. Toss to coat.

• Bake hot dog buns directly on a wire oven rack, until heated through, 3 minutes. • Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook pulled pork and Aussie seasoning, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in sweet & savoury glaze and the butter and cook, until combined, 1 minute. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a splash more water if the filling looks dry!

• Slice each hot dog bun lengthways down the middle, three-quarters of the way through. • Fill hot dog buns with pulled pork and salad. • Serve with cheesy fries and any remaining cherry tomato-fennel salad. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The sticky pork filling was a highlight for many, with the sweet-and-savoury glaze and tender meat drawing plenty of praise. Some found the overall flavour mild or the glaze too sweet, so adjusting the sauce quantity to taste is worth considering.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and easy meal to pull together, making it a solid choice for a relaxed weeknight or weekend dinner.
  • Suggestions: One reviewer noted the pork can be quite salty straight from the packet, so draining it before cooking may help balance the seasoning. Some felt coleslaw would suit the sub better than the dressed salad mix, and a few suggested reducing the Aussie spice blend if cooking for kids or those sensitive to bold flavours.
  • Portions: A few reviewers felt the potato quantity was on the small side, while others found the overall meal generous — so portion experience may vary.
