What to do
- Prep the chicken and veggies: Cube and cut the chicken and vegetables into chunky pieces (see image below for reference). In a bowl, mix together the other 'marinade/ dressing' ingredients. Leave to marinate while you make the slaw.
- Make the slaw, ingredients below: In a small bowl make the dressing by mixing together the sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and sesame seeds. Prep the raw ingredients and add to a bowl, pour over the dressing so everything's well coated. Done!1
- carrot, grated
- ¼ red or white cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 or 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- Juice of a lime
- 1 or 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- Make the skewers: Thread the raw ingredients onto the skewers and cook. Cooking times will vary depending on how you cook them. I rely on the food thermometer for this.
