INGREDIENTS

2 chicken breasts (or turkey)
Some salady things (e.g. crispy lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, radish, spring onions and carrots)

Gomadare dressing –
2 tbsp chicken stock (you can use the water leftover from your cooked chicken)

½ tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp ground toasted white sesame

METHOD

2. Meanwhile prepare vegetables (slice cucumber, radish, chop spring onions, grate carrot, etc.)
3. Grind sesame with pestle and mortar – if you don’t have a pestle and mortar, chop up the sesame with a knife and crush with a rolling pin/spoon/use your imagination.
4. Take 2 tbsp of the reserved chicken water. Mix in all other dressing ingredients and combine well until no lumps.
5. Put salad in little individual bowls, shred some strips of chicken into each. Drizzle over sauce and eat!
