Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 7 oz dried rice noodles
  • 18 oz chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • 1.5 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 3 Lebanese cucumbers, quartered lengthwise
  • 2/3 cup fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 small ripe avocado, sliced

Method
 

  1. Place dried rice noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water; let stand for 8 minutes or until soft, then drain.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the chicken strips with ground turmeric.
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the chicken strips for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.
  5. Whisk together the soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce in a small container to create the dressing.
  6. Divide the drained noodles into four serving bowls.
  7. Top each bowl with salad greens, shredded carrot, cucumber, and the cooked chicken.
  8. Add avocado slices and fresh coriander to each bowl.
  9. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

Substitute chicken with firm tofu sliced into cubes for a vegetarian-friendly option. Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free variation. You can replace coriander with Thai basil if preferred. Store leftover dressing separately to keep vegetables crisp.
