Cooking Steps

Bake the sweet potato fries
1

• 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. 

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice red radish and cucumber
into rounds.
• In a small bowl, combine sriracha and the 
mayonnaise.
• Pat peeled prawns dry with a paper towel. 
• In a medium bowl, combine prawns, garlic paste
and a drizzle of olive oil. 


TIP: Sriracha is slightly spicy, use less if you’re sensitive 
to heat.

Fry the prawns
3

• 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.

Heat the buns
4

• 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 salad
5

• In a large bowl, combine cucumber, radish, 
mixed salad leaves and Japanese-style dressing.
• Sprinkle everything garnish (see ingredients) over 
the tray with sweet potato fries and toss to combine. 

Finish & serve
6

• Uncover baos, then gently halve buns and fill with 
some Japanese radish salad and prawns. Drizzle 
over some sriracha mayo.
• Top with pickled ginger.
• Bring everything to the table. Serve baos with sweet 
potato fries, remaining salad and remaining sriracha 
mayo. Enjoy!
