Cooking Steps
Chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel).
Place the wedges into your air fryer basket. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle over the black sesame seeds, then shake and toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
Air fry at 200°C until golden, 20-25 mins. Give the basket a shake halfway through.
Meanwhile, crack the egg (see pantry for amount) into a bowl and whisk.
Put the breadcrumbs into another bowl, season with salt (see pantry for amount) and pepper and mix in the Indonesian style spice mix.
Dip the chicken into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's completely coated. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging and discard any excess egg.
Place the chicken tenders into your air fryer basket. TIP: If your air fryer has more than one drawer, pop the chicken into a second drawer instead. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding if needed.
Drizzle with oil and air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 10-12 mins. Turn halfway through. TIP: Air fry for 2-3 mins more if the crumbs are too pale. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, trim the cucumber and slice into 1cm thick rounds.
In a large bowl, mix together the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper, then set aside for now.
Pour the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into a small saucepan, then bring to the boil on medium-high heat.
Stir in the katsu paste. Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken, stirring regularly, 2-3 mins.
When everything's ready, add the cucumber and baby leaves to the dressing and toss together.
Share the chicken tenders between your serving plates. Serve the salad and sweet potato wedges alongside with mayo (see pantry for amount) for dipping.
Spoon the katsu sauce over the tenders to finish.
