• Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut sweet potato into fries. Place on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Sprinkle with mixed sesame seeds. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays
• While the fries are baking, slice pear into matchsticks. Thinly slice cucumber. • In a large bowl, combine Japanese dressing (see ingredients) and rice wine vinegar.
• In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, egg and the salt. • Using damp hands, shape heaped tablespoons of the mixture into meatballs, then flatten into 1cm-thick rissoles (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• In a large frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef rissoles, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. • Remove the pan from the heat. Add Sichuan garlic paste, soy sauce and the water, turning the rissoles to coat.
• To the bowl with the dressing, add slaw mix, cucumber and pear. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide the Sichuan-glazed beef rissoles, sesame fries and Asian slaw between plates. • Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the pan. Serve with mayonnaise. Enjoy!
