Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Trim and roughly chop pea pods. 
• Remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, then very finely chop.
• In a medium bowl, combine chicken tenderloins, sweet soy seasoning  
(see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil.


TIP: The makrut lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut them into small pieces! 

Cook the chicken
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook chicken tenderloins, tossing, until browned and cooked through,  3-4 minutes each side. Set aside to cool slightly. 


TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside. 

Toss the salad
3

• While the chicken is cooking, combine fish sauce & rice vinegar mix, a drizzle  of olive oil and sweet chilli sauce in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Just before serving, top the dressing mixture with slaw mix, mixed salad leaves, pea pods and makrut lime leaves. Toss to combine and season to taste.  

Finish & serve
4

• Divide Vietnamese-style pea pod salad between bowls. Top with chicken.
• Sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
