Cooking Steps
1
- Trim the cucumber, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.
- Trim and peel the carrot. Run the peeler down the length of the carrot to create long ribbons, stopping at the core.
- Pickle the carrot and cucumber with apple cider vinegar and 2 tsp sugar (double for 4p). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside, continuing to toss occasionally.
- Just before serving, drain the cucumber and carrot.
2
- Add the aioli to a small bowl along with half the soy sauce.
- Mix well to combine, then set aside.
3
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the chicken, lemongrass paste and remaining soy sauce.
- Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from the chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
4
- Meanwhile, trim the salad leaves, then chop widthways (or tear) into bite-sized pieces.
- Just before serving, toss the salad with sweet Asian sauce and the drained pickled veg.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5
- Place the bao (three at a time) on a plate.
- Microwave (covered) for 1 min. Keep covered until serving.
TIP: No microwave? No problem! Instead, place a pot with 2cm of water over high heat. Once the water is boiling, place a colander lined with a baking sheet on the pot. Place the bao (three at a time) on the baking sheet, cover and steam for 3-4 mins.
6
- Fill each bao with a little salad and pan-fried chicken.
- Drizzle with umami aioli and scatter over the peanuts.
- Serve the remaining salad alongside.
