Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Halve the potatoes lengthways, quartering any larger pieces. Pop onto a lined baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Rub the oil over the potatoes then lay them cut-side down on the baking tray.
- Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the honey, aioli and korma paste.
- Trim the green beans.
- Trim the carrot and halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
- Halve the chilli and discard the core and seeds. Finely chop.
- Bash the unopened sachet of peanuts with a pot or rolling pin.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the green beans and carrots and fry until starting to char, 3-4 mins.
- Add a splash of water and cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until tender, 4-5 mins.
- Transfer the veg to a bowl. Toss with sweet Asian sauce and half the chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- Beat one egg (double for 4p) in a bowl.
- In another bowl, season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
- Wipe and return the pan to high heat with 2cm oil.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Toss the chicken first in egg then breadcrumbs. Ensure it's well coated. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
- Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 6-8 mins. Turn every 2-3 mins.
- Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Place the bao on a plate (three at a time). Microwave covered for 1 min.
TIP: Don't have a microwave? Boil 2cm of water in a pot. Pop a colander lined with a baking sheet on top. Place 3 bao at a time on the baking sheet. Cover and steam, 3-4 mins.
- Fill each bao with crispy chicken.
- Drizzle the katsu curry sauce over the top.
- Serve the warm Asian veg and roast potatoes on the side.
- Finish with a scattering of crushed peanuts and remaining chopped chilli.
