  • 6 chicken breasts, skin on
  • 40g Lapsang Souchong tea leaves
  • 30.00 gm white rice
  • 32.00 gm brown sugar
  • 24.00 gm sesame seeds, toasted, ground
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) tamari
  • 20.00 gm caster sugar
  • 15.00 gm seasoned rice (sushi) vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 red birdseye chilli, seeded, finely chopped
  • Pinch of finely chopped garlic

  • 200g cooked green beans
  • 2 avocados, thinly sliced
  • 1 iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 62.50 ml finely chopped coriander leaves
  • 82.50 ml Thai basil leaves
Instructions:
  • Combine spices and salt in a small frying pan and gently heat until aromatic. Allow to cool, then grind into a flavorful powder using a pestle and mortar. Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken and steam for 15 minutes over simmering water until nearly cooked.
  • Prepare the wok by lining it with a double layer of foil. Place tea, rice, and brown sugar in the bottom. Place a small wire rack on top. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to smoke. Place the chicken on the rack, cover the wok, and smoke the chicken for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool before serving.
  • Combine sesame seeds, tamari, caster sugar, vinegar, oil, chilli, and garlic in a bowl and whisk until well blended.
  • Combine all salad ingredients with the desired dressing in a bowl, distribute evenly onto plates, and garnish with thinly sliced chicken before serving.
