Instructions

Cook the Chips
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel). Pop the chips 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.

Finish the Prep
2

Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Pop half the onion into a medium bowl and add the rice vinegar, sugar for the pickle (see ingredients for amount) and a pinch of salt. Mix together, then set aside.

Make the Sesame Mayo
3

Heat a large frying pan on medium heat (no oil). Once hot, add the sesame seeds and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily. Once toasted, divide them between 2 small bowls. Set one bowl aside. Add the mayo to the other sesame seed bowl and season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine and set aside.

Get Frying
4

Pop your (now empty) pan back on high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork mince and cook until browned, 2-3 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Add the pepper and remaining onion to the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 mins more.

Pep up your Pork
5

When the veg has softened and the pork is cooked through, add the garlic to the pan. Stir and cook until fragrant, 1 min. Stir in the bulgogi sauce and heat through gently until piping hot, then remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Assemble the Tacos
6

When you're almost ready to serve, pop the tortillas onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 1-2 mins. Lay the warmed tortillas on your plates (3 per person). Spread over a spoonful of sesame mayo on each, then top with the pork mixture and pickled red onion - as much as you'd like. Sprinkle over the remaining sesame seeds to finish and serve with the chips alongside. Enjoy!
