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

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.
