Method

STEP 1

STEP 2

Toss shredded chicken in sesame oil, season with sesame seeds, cracked pepper, chilli flakes and garlic

STEP 3

Prepare vegetables. Finely julienne cucumber, diced lettuce and shred carrot

STEP 4

Prepare rice noodles to recipe instructions and allow to cool

STEP 5

Assemble your bowl by arranging noodles, vegetables and chicken together

STEP 6

Drizzle peanut sauce over bowl ingredients

STEP 7

Top with extra chilli flakes, if desired

Purple Cabbage

STEP 1

To create a brine, heat water in a small saucepan over low heat. Add in vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper

STEP 2

Simmer gently until the sugar is dissolved

STEP 3

In a large bowl, add cabbage and pour the brine over until cabbage is completely covered. Transfer cabbage and brine into an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator

STEP 4

For best results, allow to pickle for at least 24hrs before use

Additional Comments

Peanut sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Will need slight heating before use.
Use pickled cabbage already prepared in the fridge.
