OFF YOU GO!
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
FLUFFY Quinoa
Place the Quinoa in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
TOAST & MIX
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until they pop, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the Gochujang with 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 tsp of water and 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 tsp of oil. Set aside. Loosen the mayo with a splash of water until drizzling consistency.
TIME TO GET SPICY
When the sweet potato has 10 minutes remaining, remove from the oven and coat in the Gochujang (to taste). Be careful - it’s spicy!
SPRUCE & CHAR
Once the Quinoa is cooked, stir through the peas. Add the soy sauce, the rice wine vinegar (both to taste), and seasoning. Cover and set aside. Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pineapple rings until charred, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan.
WHAT A FEAST
Make a bed of salad leaves and pile the Quinoa on top. Serve alongside the sticky Gochujang sweet potato and top with the pineapple. Drizzle over the mayo and scatter over the pickled ginger. To finish, garnish with the chives and the sesame seeds. Prepare to be wowed!
