  1. CRISPY WEDGES

    Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. PICKLED CUCUMBER & PLUMP BEANS

    In a bowl, add the lemon juice (to taste), 1 tbsp of water, seasoning, and a sweetener (to taste). Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add the cucumber ribbons, toss until fully combined, and set aside. Submerge the beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion.

  3. SAUCES & SESAME SEEDS

    In a bowl, combine the tonkatsu sauce, seasoning, and 1 tsp of a sweetener. Set aside. Place the mixed sesame seeds on a shallow dish or plate and set aside. Loosen the gochujang with a drizzle of oil.

  4. FANCY OSTRICH STEAK

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Roll the ostrich through the sesame seeds until well coated. Gently slice and season.

  5. GO GO GOCHUJANG

    When the potato wedges have 10 minutes remaining, remove the tray from the oven and coat the potato wedges in the loosened gochujang paste – use it to taste, it’s spicy! Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time until cooked through and crisping up. Drain the pickling liquid from the cucumber ribbons and toss with the plump beans, and the shredded leaves.

  6. KOREAN-JAPANESE FUSION FEAST

    Plate up the spicy potato wedges and side with the sesame ostrich. Drizzle the tonkatsu sauce over the ostrich. Serve the pickled cucumber salad on the side. Sprinkle over any remaining sesame seeds, and side with the mayo for dipping. Wow, Chef!
