• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber and red radish into rounds. • In a small bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce and mayonnaise. • Pat peeled prawns dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, combine prawns, garlic paste and a drizzle of olive oil.
• When fries have 10 minutes remaining, add cornflour to the bowl with prawns, toss to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook prawns, tossing, until golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
• 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 for 1 minute. Set aside for 1 minute.
• In a large bowl, combine cucumber, red radish, mixed salad leaves and Japanese style dressing. • Sprinkle everything garnish (see ingredients) over the tray with sweet potato fries and toss to combine.
• Uncover baos, gently open buns then fill with some Japanese radish salad and prawns. Drizzle over some sweet chilli mayo. • Top with pickled ginger. • Bring everything to the table. Serve baos with sweet potato fries, remaining salad and remaining sweet chilli mayo. Enjoy!
