Ingredients
- 500 g frozen fries
- 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp black sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp neutral flavoured oil sunflower, vegetable, rapeseed for e.g.
- 8 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tbsp gochujang see blogpost for alternative sauces
- 2 tbsp light soy

- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- Handful spring onion greens finely sliced
5 spice mayonnaise:
- 2 tbsp mayo/vegan mayo
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp 5 spice
- 1-2 tsp water to thin out
Instructions
- First toast your sesame seeds in a wide shallow pan on low heat, tossing every 2-3 minutes. This will take around 5-7 minutes
- Place your fries into the oven, or air fry. I air fried mine for 12-13 mins at 180'C. Bake/airfry until golden and crispy
- Whilst the fries are cooking, sauté your minced garlic in the neutral oil on a medium heat until fragrant and just turning golden
- Add in your gochujang, light soy, rice vinegar, sugar, and white pepper. Mix to combine
- Then add the toasted sesame seeds and mix once more. Turn the heat off and finish the sauce with the toasted sesame oil
- Combine the sauce with the fries and the spring onion greens. Toss to mix. Best served immediately.
- For the 5spice mayonnaise, simply mix all the mayo ingredients together until thick but pourable and drizzle over the fries. Or keep aside for dunking
