Cooking Steps

Bake the cheesy bacon potato chunks
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Cut potato into bite-sized chunks.
• Place potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive 
oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until 
tender, 20-25 minutes.
• In the last 8-10 minutes of cook time, sprinkle  
diced bacon and Cheddar cheese over potatoes 
(you may need to break up the bacon with your 
hands!). Return to oven and bake until melted  
and golden.  

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, cut apple into thin sticks.
• Thinly slice spring onion.
• Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• In a medium bowl, combine chicken, sweet soy 
seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch  
of pepper. 

Fry the chicken
3

• When potato has 10 minutes remaining, to the bowl 
with chicken, add cornflour. Toss to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of 
olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, 
dust off any excess flour and cook chicken, tossing 
occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 
5-6 minutes.
• Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 
TIP: Chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.  

Make it saucy
4

• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high 
heat. Return chicken to the pan, then add oyster 
sauce, the honey and sesame seeds, tossing, until 
well combined, 1 minute.

Heat the buns & assemble the slaw
5

• While chicken is cooking, 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.
• In a second medium bowl, combine shredded 
cabbage mix, apple, garlic aioli and a drizzle of 
olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Finish & serve
6

• Uncover baos, then gently halve buns and fill with 
some apple slaw and sticky chicken. 
• Top with spring onion.
• Serve baos with cheesy bacon potatoes and 
remaining slaw. Enjoy!
