Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. Set aside until you're ready to make lunch. Slice the cucumber into thin batons. Cut the chicken breast into 1cm strips.

Make the dressing
2

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Add sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, rice wine vinegar and 50g of mayonnaise. Whisk together until combined, then set aside until you're ready to make lunch.

Cook the chicken
3

Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken in batches, tossing, until cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Sichuan garlic paste (see ingredients). Return the chicken to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat.

Heat the tortillas
4

While the chicken is cooking, heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press, or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, until warm. In a small bowl, combine the remaining mayonnaise with the Japanese dressing.

Serve dinner
5

Set aside 2 portions of chicken (about 1 cup) and most of the slaw mix until you're ready to make lunch. Build the tacos by spreading the tortillas with a little Japanese mayo, then topping with the remaining slaw mix, Sichuan garlic chicken, cucumber and a sprinkling of crispy shallots.

Make lunch
6

When you're ready to pack lunch, trim and thinly slice the snow peas. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). Divide the sesame dressing between two reusable containers. Top with the sweet potato, reserved chicken, reserved slaw mix, snow peas, chilli (if using) and roasted peanut packets. Refrigerate. When you're ready to serve lunch, toss to coat the salad in the dressing and sprinkle with the roasted peanuts. Season to taste. TIP: Packing the dressing on the bottom keeps the salad crisp overnight!
