Lemon Chicken Sesame Cabbage Salad

Ingredients

For the Sesame Cabbage Salad
½ green cabbage, finely shredded
1 Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
3 tbsp salted peanuts, roughly chopped
1 bunch coriander, roughly chopped
½ bunch dill, roughly chopped
½ bunch chives, finely sliced
1 tbsp white sesame seeds
Juice of ½ lemon (or lime) 1 tsp white wine vinegar
Pinch of salt
2 tsp UmamiPapi Crispy Chilli Oil
For the Poached Chicken
1 large chicken breast (or
2 small), fat trimmed
1 bay leaf
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp UmamiPapi Crispy Chilli Oil
Pinch of salt
To Serve
2 cups cooked brown rice (I used a
250g pouch of microwaveable brown rice)
UmamiPapi Chilli Egg Mayo, for serving

METHOD

1. For the chicken, bring a medium pot of water to the boil. Add the bay leaf, a pinch of salt, and the lemon juice. Add the chicken, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes (depending on chicken size). Turn off the heat and let the chicken sit in the hot water for 5 minutes to stay juicy.

2. Remove the chicken, rest for 5 minutes, then shred with your hands or two forks. Drizzle over the crispy chilli oil and set aside.

3. For the salad, combine the cabbage, cucumber, red onion, herbs, sesame seeds, and peanuts in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, vinegar, a pinch of salt, and crispy chilli oil. Toss well to combine.

4. To assemble, add the shredded chicken and brown rice to the salad. Toss again until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust - more lemon, salt, or crispy chilli oil if needed.

5. Divide between two bowls and finish with dollops of chilli egg mayo.
