Cooking Steps

Cut the sweet potato
1
  • Preheat the oven to 210°C.
  • Wash the sweet potato and cut it into fries.
  • Transfer the fries to a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a drizzle of sunflower oil, the flour and salt.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown, tossing halfway.
Fry the pork belly
2
  • Cut a quarter of the red chili pepper per person into rings. 
  • Remove the pork belly from the package and spoon the sauce into a small bowl. Cut the pork belly into slices of 1 cm.
  • Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan. Fry the pork belly and red chilli pepper over medium-high heat for 10 - 12 minutes.
  • In the meantime, chop the scallions and set aside some of the green part for garnish. Add the scallions to the frying pan and cook for the rest of the cooking time.
Chop the veggies

  • Halve the cucumber lengthways, then slice it and add to a salad bowl.
  • Chop the fresh parsley and mint and add them to the cucumber, along with the sesame oil and soy sauce to taste.
  • Chop the carrot into strips and set aside.
  • Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze a quarter lime wedge per person into the salad bowl.
Add the sauces
4
  • Add the gochujang*, East Asian-style sauce, pork belly sauce, and sweet chilli sauce to the pan with pork belly and mix well. Add soy sauce to taste. Let it cook over low heat until serving.
  • Drizzle some water over the bao buns, put them in the oven with the sweet potato, and bake for 4 - 5 minutes.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.
