Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Remove the pork shoulder from the packaging. Place in an ovenproof dish along with the juices. Season with salt and pepper and cover loosely with foil.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf for 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the pork is piping hot throughout.
Meanwhile, chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide fries (no need to peel).
Pop the fries onto a large baking tray. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. 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, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sambal (see ingredients for amount, add less if you'd prefer things milder) and mayonnaise. Set aside.
Trim and thinly slice the spring onion.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.
Trim and quarter the radishes.
Add the radishes and coleslaw mix to the bowl of dressing and toss to combine. Set aside.
Once your pork has finished in the oven, discard the juices and shred with two forks.
Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and water (see pantry for amount). Toss to coat the pork. Taste the pork and season with salt and pepper if needed. Return to the oven until sticky, 5 mins.
Place the bao buns on a plate, sprinkle with a little water and microwave, 800W: 1 min 10 secs / 900W: 50 secs / 1000W: 40 secs.
If you don't have a microwave, place the bao buns onto a large sheet of foil. Sprinkle with a little water, then fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel. Bake on the middle shelf until warm and fluffy, 3-4 mins.
Share your bao buns between your serving plates. Fill the buns with the shredded hoisin pork and scatter over the spring onion.
Serve the bao buns with the sesame fries, radish slaw and the sambal mayo for dipping on the side.
Enjoy!
