Instructions

Chicken

  1. Add the chicken thigh fillets, olive oil and hoisin to a large bowl. Toss to coat.
  2. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook for 10-12 minutes. Turn the chicken once halfway and add 2 tbsp of water to the pan.

Cucumber & Carrot Pickle

  1. Combine the carrot, cucumber, mayonnaise, rice wine vinegar & sesame oil. Toss to coat, and set aside.

To Serve

  1. Arrange the chicken on a platter alongside the cucumber & carrot pickle, beansprouts, lettuce cups and rice.
  2. Combine the red chilli (if using) and tamari. Serve on the side with sriracha for drizzling on top.

Notes

Note 1 – Trim the chicken of any excess fat. Use a mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken thigh so that it is even in thickness. Aim for a 1.5cm thickness. Chicken breast can be used as an alternative using the same method, but reduce the cooking time to 8-10 minutes.

Note 2 – A julienne peeler is an inexpensive solution that will make light work of cutting your vegetables.

MAKE AHEAD – Marinate the chicken and store it refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking. 

LEFTOVERS – Refrigerate cooked chicken for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. Not suitable to freeze.
