Cooking Steps

Get Started
1

Soak your skewers in cold water to prevent them from burning.

Trim and slice the sweet potato in half lengthways, then cut into 1cm half moons (no need to peel).

Add the sweet potato slices to your air fryer basket and air fry at 200°C until golden and cooked through, 18-22 mins. Give the basket a shake halfway through. TIP: Work in batches if needed.

Prep Time
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

in a large bowl, combine the garlic and Indonesian style spice mix with the breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the pork mince. Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.

Shape into sausage shapes, 3 per person. Flatten them slightly and thread a skewer through each one. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Into the Air Fryer
3

When the sweet potato is halfway through cooking, place the skewers into your air fryer basket alongside the sweet potatoes. TIP: If your air fryer has more than one drawer, pop the koftas into a second drawer instead. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding if needed.

Air fry at 200°C until browned on the outside and cooked through, 10-12 mins. Give the basket a shake halfway through. IMPORTANT: They're cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Get Dressed!
4

While everything cooks, cut the lime into wedges. Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces. 

Trim the cucumber, then halve lengthways. Cut into 1cm thick half moons.

In a large salad bowl, combine the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Add in a good squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Set the dressing aside for later.

Add the Flavour
5

In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy and sweet chilli sauce. Add the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and a good squeeze of lime juice.

Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined into a smooth drizzle - this is your satay style sauce.

Taste and season with salt, pepper and more lime juice if needed. Add a splash more water if the sauce looks a little too thick. 

Serve Up
6

When everything's ready, add the baby gem leaves and cucumber to the lime dressing and toss to coat. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy!

Share the skewers, sweet potato and salad between your plates.

Drizzle the satay style sauce over the skewers to finish.
