Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Place peeled & chopped pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• Meanwhile, remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, then very finely chop. Trim and roughly chop pea pods. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a small bowl, combine makrut leaves, mixed sesame seeds, sweet chilli sauce, ginger paste, the water and soy sauce.
TIP: The makrut leaves are fibrous so make sure to cut them very thin.
• In a medium bowl, combine cornflour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add chicken, tossing to coat.
• When the pumpkin has 5 minutes remaining, wipe out frying pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. • In the last minute of cook time, add sweet chilli mixture and cook until bubbling, 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shredded wombok, baby spinach leaves, pea pods, pumpkin, sesame dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat and season to taste.
• Divide salad between bowls. • Top with golden sweet chilli-makrut chicken. • Sprinkle with crunchy fried noodles to serve. Enjoy!
