Ingredients

• 500g boneless chicken thighs

• 2 tbsp dark soy sauce

• 1 tbsp clear honey

• 1 tbsp littleseed spicy stir fry oil

• 2 carrots - grated

Method

1. Slice the chicken thighs into bite sized chunks and place in a bowl along with the soy sauce, honey and stir fry oil to marinade.

2. In a separate bowl add the grated carrot, sliced radishes, spring onions, diced cucumber and coriander and mix together. To the bowl squeeze in the juice of the lime, add the vinegar, salt & pepper and mix to combine.

3. To a hot frying pan add the chicken and marinade and cook for 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the remaining liquid has reduced by half. Then add half a cup of water, mix it in with the marinade that is remaining in the pan and leave to bubble away for a couple more minutes. After a couple of minutes, a small amount of dark sticky sauce should remain in the bottom of the pan.
