Ingredients
- 1 skinless chicken breast, about 125g, cut into long strips
- thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely grated
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- a pinch of sugar
- 1⁄2 x 250g pack cooked red and white quinoa
- 100g sugar snaps, finely sliced
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1⁄2 small avocado, peeled, stoned and sliced
Step by step
-
Put the sliced chicken in a bowl and add the grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil and some seasoning, and stir to coat. Heat a large nonstick frying pan on a medium heat, add the chicken mixture and cook for 6 minutes until golden and cooked through and the ginger is golden and crispy.
-
Combine the remaining sesame oil with the soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar to make the dressing. Put the quinoa in a mixing bowl (breaking it up with a fork if it’s in clumps) and add the raw sugar snaps, spring onions and 2/3 of the dressing, and toss together.
-
Put the quinoa salad on a platter, top with the ginger chicken and the avocado, drizzle over the remaining dressing and scrape any crispy ginger left in the pan on top.
