  1. BOIL THE POTS

    Place a pot of cold salted water over a high heat. Add the potato chunks and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until soft. Drain on completion, and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Then, stir through a splash of milk or water, a knob of butter (optional), the wasabi powder (to taste), and seasoning.

  2. SIMPLY SMASHING!

    Using a rolling pin or bottle, smash the cucumber and slice it into bite-sized pieces before lightly seasoning. In a bowl, combine the dressing with 1 tbsp of a sweetener of choice. Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add the cucumber pieces and toss until fully coated. Set aside to marinate until serving.

  3. PAK CHOI PARTY

    Separate the leaves of the trimmed pak choi and rinse well. Slice in half lengthways. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halved pak choi leaves for 1-2 minutes until slightly wilted. Remove from the heat and season.

  4. LET THEM EAT FISHCAKES!

    Pat dry the fishcakes with some paper towel. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fishcakes for 2 minutes per side until golden and heated through (they’re precooked, so only need to be heated up). In the final minute, baste the fishcakes in the basting sauce.

  5. PLATE IT UP!

    Plate up a hearty helping of the wasabi mash and the smashed cucumber. Lay out the wilted pak choi and top with the fabulous fishcakes. Drizzle over any remaining pan juices. Garnish with the black sesame seeds and the chopped mint. Wow, Chef!
