Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan. Poach the chicken for 11 - 14 minutes over a low heat.
  • After 2 - 3 minutes, add the rice to the pot and boil with the chicken for 10 - 11 minutes. Add the beansprouts in the last minute.
  • Drain the chicken, beansprouts and rice. Set the chicken aside and leave the rice and beansprouts in the pot for later use.
  • In the meantime, crush or mince the garlic. Slice the onion into thin half rings. 
Chop the vegetables
2
  • Cut the top off of the red chili pepper, remove the seeds and slice a quarter of the chili per person into rings. Slice the carrot into crescents. 
  • Cut the cucumber in half and remove the seeds with a spoon, then slice into crescents. 
  • Shred the chicken and mix with the ginger stir-fry sauce. 
  • Pull the coriander and mint leaves off their stems, keeping the leaves whole.

  • Zest the lime and cut it into four wedges. 
  • In a bowl, mix the fish sauce* with the lime zest, juice of 1 lime wedge per person, garlic, red chili pepper, soy sauce, mayonnaise and honey (see pantry for amounts).
  • In a salad bowl, combine the onion and the shredded cabbage, carrot, rice, beansprouts, cucumber with three-quarters of the dressing.
