Chef's kiss! Originating from Hong Kong, XO sauce is traditionally based on dried seafood, chopped up and cooked with chillies, onions and garlic. Umami with a hint of spice, this vegan version is fish-free with all the flavour, making it a perfect pairing for ingredients like steak.

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the steaks from your fridge to allow them to come up to room temperature.
Pour the water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount) into a large saucepan, stir in the chicken stock paste and bring to the boil.
Stir in the bulgur, bring back up to the boil and simmer for 1 min. Pop a lid on the pan and remove from the heat.
Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the edamame beans, sliced carrot and cabbage mix, half the green chilli paste, the mayo (see pantry for amount) and a drizzle of oil.
Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for now.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.
Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the Indonesian style spice mix.

Once very hot, lay the steaks into the pan and fry until browned and medium-rare, about 6-8 mins depending on their thickness. Turn halfway through. TIP: Cook each side for 1 min more if you like it more well done.
Once cooked, transfer to a board, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The steak is safe to eat when browned on the outside.

Meanwhile, pop a small saucepan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Add the peanut butter, vegan XO sauce, sweet chilli sauce and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Simmer, stirring, until thickened and combined, 3-4 mins.
Cut the chicken widthways into 2cm thick slices.

Once the bulgur is ready, fluff up the grains with a fork and stir through the remaining green chilli paste.
Share the bulgur between your serving bowls. Top with the green chilli edamame slaw and sliced spiced steak in separate sections.
Spoon the peanut XO sauce over the steak and bulgur.
