Prepare vegetables. Finely julienne cucumber, diced lettuce and shred carrot
Prepare rice noodles to recipe instructions and allow to cool
Assemble your bowl by arranging noodles, vegetables and chicken together
Drizzle peanut sauce over bowl ingredients
Top with extra chilli flakes, if desired
Purple Cabbage
To create a brine, heat water in a small saucepan over low heat. Add in vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper
Simmer gently until the sugar is dissolved
In a large bowl, add cabbage and pour the brine over until cabbage is completely covered. Transfer cabbage and brine into an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator
For best results, allow to pickle for at least 24hrs before use
Additional Comments
Peanut sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Will need slight heating before use.
Use pickled cabbage already prepared in the fridge.
