Ingredients

  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tbs mirin seasoning
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbs sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)
  • 6 Coles RSPCA Approved Australian Chicken Thigh Fillets
  • 100g vermicelli rice noodles
  • 8 butter lettuce leaves

Pickled vegetables

  • 2 carrots, peeled, cut into long matchsticks
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, cut into long matchsticks
  • 1/2 wombok (Chinese cabbage), finely shaved
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbs caster sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method

STEP 1

Combine the soy sauce, mirin, honey, oil, sesame seeds and chilli flakes, if using, in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Set aside for 15 mins to develop the flavours.

STEP 2

Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill on medium. Drain the chicken, reserving the soy sauce mixture. Cook for 4-5 mins each side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil and set aside for 5 mins to rest.

STEP 3

Meanwhile, to make the pickled vegetables, combine the carrot, cucumber, wombok, vinegar, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Set aside for 5 mins to soak. Drain well.

STEP 4

While the vegetables are soaking, place noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Pour over enough boiling water to cover. Set aside for 5 mins to soak. Refresh under cold water. Drain well.

STEP 5

Heat the reserved soy sauce mixture in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring, for 2 mins or until the glaze thickens slightly.

STEP 6

Thickly slice the chicken. Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large serving platter. Top with the noodles, pickled vegetables and chicken. Drizzle with the glaze to serve.
