TO SERVE

- 1/2 cup wombok cabbage shredded (or napa cabbage)
- 1/4 small red capsicum julienned
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced

GINGER LEMON DRESSING
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp lemongrass paste
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp salt flakes
- 1 tbsp lime juice

- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Mix the sweetener, sriracha, black vinegar, lime zest and juice in a large bowl. Massage marinade into chicken and leave to marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Combine spices in separate bowl and reserve.
- Place the marinated chicken fillets in a single layer onto the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle with spices.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, turning and basting with marinade half way. Bake chicken until it is caramelised and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Allow chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
GINGER LEMON DRESSING
- Place all dressing ingredients into a small jar. Put the lid on and give a good shake to combine. Reserve.
ASIAN SLAW
- In a large bowl toss all salad ingredients. Add cooked chicken and dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
Best served immediately after dressing is added. Alternatively, place dressing in the bottom of a mason jar and top with salad for an easy meal at any time.
I use Gourmet Garden lemongrass and ginger paste. Alternatively, use fresh lemongrass and fresh ginger.
Black Vinegar or Chinkiang Vinegar is available in the Asian aisle in the supermarket or almost all Asian market stores. Balsamic or apple cider vinegar can be substituted.
