Total Time50 minutes

Ingredients

Hash Cakes

  • 120 gm shredded chicken and/or pork meat
  • 400 g potatoes peeled
  • 2 spring onions sliced very fine + a little extra for garnish
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 small green chilli minced (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 tsp wasabi
  • 1/2 tsp hot English mustard
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying

Hash Brown Dipping Sauce:

  • 2 heaped tbsp mayonnaise
  • Small squeeze of lemon juice
  • 1 tsp soy
  • 1/4 tsp hot English mustard

Instructions

  • Make the dip: Mix all dip ingredients together and place in the fridge until needed.
  • Add potatoes to a pan of salted water, bring to a boil, cover and turn to simmer until firm but cooked through to the center (avoid over-boiling as the potato texture will become too watery and lose its shape).
  • Drain and mash potatoes with the wasabi and some salt and pepper. Do not add any liquid. Allow to cool.
  • Next combine chicken and/or pork, spring onions, soy sauce, miso, chilli, garlic, sesame seeds and mustard.
  • Gently combine the mash and meat mixture together. Taste and then season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Divide mixture into 8 balls then gently flatten. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
  • Pour panko breadcrumbs onto a plate or flat bowl. Coat hash browns evenly on both sides with breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan and gently fry until crisp and golden brown on each side.
  • Transfer to a plate. Scatter with chopped spring onions and serve with the hash brown dipping sauce.
