1,027 kJ / 247 kcalPreparation
Step 1
400 g cucumber – 1 tsp salt
Wash the cucumber, trim the ends and slice thinly. Toss with the salt and leave for about 5 minutes to draw out the moisture. Squeeze the cucumber firmly to remove excess water.
Step 2
200 g chicken breast mini fillets – Water for poaching
Poach the chicken breast mini fillets in simmering water until fully cooked through, then shred into bite-sized pieces by hand.
Step 3
3 tbsp Kikkoman Sesame Sauce – 1 tbsp Kikkoman Spicy Chili Sauce for Kimchi – 1 tsp Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Oil
Combine the Kikkoman Sesame Dressing, Kikkoman Kimchi Chili Sauce and Kikkoman Sesame Oil in a mixing bowl.
Step 4
2 tsp chilli threads
Add the squeezed cucumbers and shredded chicken to the dressing, mix thoroughly, transfer to a serving plate and top with the chilli threads.
Tip
High in protein and low in carbs. Squeezing out excess water from the cucumber ensures the dressing retains its full flavour without being diluted. If you don't have Kikkoman Kimchi Chili Sauce, substitute with another chilli sauce.
