  1. PARBOILED POTATOES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain, season, and cover.

  2. SMASHED Cucumber

    Using a rolling pin or bottle, smash the Cucumber, slice into bite-sized pieces, and add to a bowl. Mix in the vinegar, chilli flakes (to taste), seasoning and toss to combine. Set aside to marinate.

  3. SESAME SEED SPUDS

    Spread the parboiled potatoes on a lightly greased roasting tray. Using a fork, gently press down, splitting the skin, but keeping them in one piece. Drizzle over some oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). In the final 2-3 minutes, toss through ½ the sesame seeds.

  4. FAB Fish STICKS

    Pat the Fish dry with paper towel, slice into 1-2cm thick sticks (about 3 sticks per fillet) and season. Whisk 1 egg in a shallow bowl with 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing the flour, and the other containing the breadcrumbs. First coat the fish sticks in the flour, then the egg, and lastly the crumb. Make sure each fish stick is fully coated in each mixture before moving on to the next. Dust off any excess in between coatings. Place them in the fridge to cool for at least 10 minutes.

  5. WASABI MAYO

    In a bowl, combine the mayo and the wasabi powder (to taste). Season and set aside.

  6. CRUMBED & GOLDEN

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, add the crumbed Fish sticks and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.

  7. YOU DID IT, CHEF!
