MasterChef NZ winner Sam Low's Japanese Fruit Sandwich (Fruit Sando)

"The best part it took like 15mins to make a whole bunch"

It's strawberry season so what's better than trying out this delicious fruit sandwich called fruit sando this summer!

You can always use different fruits like kiwi, oranges, or a fruit of your choice replacing strawberries to make these delicious fruit sandwiches.

"So normally I'm not a picnic person and when asked to make something for it, I immediately geared towards Japanese style fruit sandos" Sam shared this recipe last summer during the strawberry season.

The following recipe makes 5 sandwiches and it takes only 15 minutes to make a batch.
