step 3
Combine the lime juice (1), tahini (4 tbsp), maple (1 tsp) and ponzu (1 tbsp) in a jar (or mixing bowl) with 2 tsp water and shake to combine until the sauce thickens slightly. Pour over the cucumber. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds (1 tsp).

Heat the bao buns (1 pack) in the microwave for 2 minutes, according to the pack instructions.

Serve the prawns and cucumber salad in the bao buns with an extra sprinkling of sesame seeds and some of the juices from the prawns. Squeeze with the lime juice (1/2).
