Bang bang chicken recipe
Ingredients
100ml chicken stock
2·5cm (1in) piece root ginger, finely chopped
2tbsp smooth peanut butter
2tbsp runny honey
2tbsp sesame oil
pinch chilli flakes
½ lime, juiced
350g (12oz) roast chicken, shredded
½ cucumber, ribboned
1 large carrot, shredded
4 spring onions, sliced
200g (7oz) cooked rice noodles
fresh coriander, to garnish
Pour the chicken stock into a saucepan, add the ginger and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes so that the ginger infuses the stock. Put the peanut butter, honey, sesame oil and chilli flakes in a mini processor or a screw-topped jar with the chicken stock, and process or shake well to mix together. Add the lime juice to taste. Put the chicken, cucumber, carrot, spring onions and rice noodles into a large bowl and add the dressing. Toss gently. Serve sprinkled with a few fresh coriander leaves.
