How To Make bang bang chicken

  • 2
    Remove from the heat and whisk in the chili sauce and sugar.
  • 3
    Gradually, add both the oils until the sauce is the right consistency for pouring - depending on the peanut butter, you may not need all the oil.
  • 4
    Poach the chicken breasts for about 10 minutes (until cooked through) in the stock, then drain and cool.
  • 5
    Then cut into 1 inch shreds and put to one side.
  • 6
    Peel the carrot and cut into shreds, also about 1 inch long, then cut the spring onions to the same size, using the green and the white.
  • 7
    Cut the cucumber into 1 inch lengths, leaving the skin on.
  • 8
    Thinly slice lengthways and cut into matchstick shapes, discarding the seeds.
  • 9
    Arrange the vegetables on a serving dish and pile the chicken on top.
  • 10
    Then pour the sauce generously over the chicken and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
