Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop the wedges onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the black sesame seeds, 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, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

2

Meanwhile, add two thirds of the mayonnaise to a mixing bowl (we will use the rest for the sauce). Season with salt and pepper and mix together. Stir in the florets, making sure they are well coated in the mayo. In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the Chinese five spice. Season the crumbs with salt and stir in the oil for the breadcrumbs (see ingredients for amount). Tip the florets into the bowl of crumbs, and toss to coat evenly.

3

Carefully transfer the florets to a lined baking tray. Move the wedges baking tray down to the middle shelf of the oven and roast on the top shelf of your oven until golden and crispy, 20-25 mins. Discard any crumbs that are left in the bowl.

4

Meanwhile, put the sweet chilli sauce, sriracha, remaining mayo and the honey (see ingredients for amount) into a bowl. Stir to combine. This is your creamy, sweet and spicy bang bang sauce! Pop it aside for now. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Trim the green beans.

5

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins. Stir in the garlic, turn the heat down to medium and cook for 30 secs. Then add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Allow to cook until the beans are tender, 4-5 mins. Remove the pan from the heat.

6

When everything is ready, transfer the cauli nuggets to your serving plates. Drizzle over two thirds of the bang bang sauce and sprinkle over the spring onion. Serve the sesame wedges and garlicky green beans alongside. Pop the remaining bang bang sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!


Olivia - please cook for 4P and see if there is too much in the oven or it is ok. Also if cauli coats ok in crumbs and bake nicely so they are crisp. Please let me know how it goes, and final cook time also. thanks!
