Preparation
1
Eyes on the Fries

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the sweet potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide fries (no need to peel).

Pop the fries onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

2
Smacked Cucumber Time

Meanwhile, trim the cucumber, then pop onto a board and use a rolling pin to gently smack it a few times until split. Cut into roughly 2cm chunks.

Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Add the cucumber to a bowl with the sambal, rice vinegar, coriander and sugar for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Toss to mix and set aside for later.

3
Make the Miso Sauce

Peel and grate the parlic (or use a garlic press).

In a small bowl, mix together the miso, honey, soy sauce, ginger puree, garlic, water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and mix until combined. Set aside. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

4
Fry the Chicken

Cut each chicken thigh into 2-3 pieces (depending on size).

Add the chicken to a medium bowl with the flour (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 

Heat a large frying on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, lay the chicken in the pan. Fry until browned on each side and cooked through, 8-10 mins. Turn every 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

5
Bring on the Bao

Once the chicken has cooked, pour your miso sauce into the pan. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is well coated, 2 mins.

If you have a microwave, place the bao buns on a plate and microwave, 750W: 1 min 30 secs, 900W: 1 min.

If you don't have a microwave, place the bao buns onto a baking tray. Bake on the middle shelf until warm and fluffy, 2-3 mins.

6
Assemble and Serve

When everything's ready, pop the bao buns onto your plates. Fill with the miso chicken and a spoonful of smacked cucumber.

Serve with the sweet potato fries and remaining smacked cucumber alongside.

Enjoy!
