Ingredients

For the Fries

• 400g Lamb Weston Stealth Skin-On 9x9 Fries

For the Toppings

• 150g Korean-style fried chicken strips (or Korean BBQ pork belly)
• 50g kimchi, chopped
• 3 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp gochujang or sweet chilli sauce
• 1 bunch spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 red chilli, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• Fresh coriander leaves, to garnish
• Crispy fried onions or shallots, to garnish (optional)

Method

1. Preheat a fryer to 175°C or an oven to 200°C.
2. Cook the frozen fries according to the pack instructions until golden and crisp. If frying, cook for approximately 3 minutes 15 seconds, shaking after 30 seconds. If oven cooking, bake for 16–20 minutes, turning halfway through.
3. While the fries are cooking, warm the Korean-style chicken strips or pork belly until hot and lightly glazed.
4. Mix the Kewpie mayonnaise and gochujang (or sweet chilli sauce) together to create a spicy mayo.
5. Arrange the cooked fries on a serving platter.
6. Scatter the chopped kimchi over the fries.
7. Drizzle with the spicy mayo.
8. Top with the warm chicken or pork belly.
9. Finish with spring onions, chilli, sesame seeds and fresh coriander.
10. Add crispy fried onions or shallots for extra texture, if desired, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

• For a vegetarian option, replace the meat with crispy tofu or tempeh and add extra kimchi or pickled vegetables.
• Add a drizzle of sesame oil or a squeeze of fresh lime for extra flavour.
• For sharing occasions, serve the toppings separately and allow guests to build their own loaded fries.
