Elevate weeknight dinners with zesty bang bang chicken.
Ingredients:
  • 500g chicken breast fillets
  • 3cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, chopped
  • 84.00 gm soy sauce
  • 200g dried thin rice noodles
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, seeded, cut into long thin strips
  • 1 carrot, cut into long thin strips
  • 1 small red capsicum, cut into matchsticks
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 250.00 ml bean sprouts
  • 12.00 gm sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 tsp sichuan peppercorns
  • 40.00 ml rice wine vinegar
  • 20.00 gm caster sugar
  • 1 long red chilli, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine chicken, ginger, soy sauce, and 3 cups of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Let it cool before serving.
  • While you prepare the Sichuan Dressing, heat peppercorns in a small saucepan over high heat until fragrant, stirring for about 1 minute. Lightly crush the peppercorns using a rolling pin or mortar and pestle, then transfer to a jug. Combine peppercorns with soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a large chopping board using a slotted spoon, saving 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Pound the chicken with a rolling pin until shredded and place it in a large bowl along with the reserved cooking liquid.
  • *Fill a large, heatproof bowl with noodles. Pour boiling water over the noodles to cover them completely. Let them sit for 5 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain the water. Add chicken, cucumber, carrot, capsicum, onion, sprouts, and dressing to the noodles. Mix everything together well. Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl. Finish by sprinkling sesame seeds on top. Enjoy!*
