I have always wanted to use Wombok, or Chinese cabbage in a salad, but was hesitant to buy this vegetable as I had no idea what it tasted like. In October this year I was down in Victoria for a dear cousin’s wedding. The blushing bride happened to make an amazing cold salad which featured wombok that tasted out of this world. So a special thanks goes out to my lovely cousin Jo for introducing me to new culinary tastes.
INGREDIENTS
- 300g chicken breast, roughly chopped
- 150g green beans, trimmed and cut into 4cm pieces.
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 150g cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 cups wombok (chinese cabbage), roughly shredded
- 1/2 cup sweet chilli sauce
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoons sesame oil
COOKING
1. Steam or boil green beans for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain.
2. Cook the chicken in a frying pan until light golden or just cooked. Shred the chicken into small pieces.
3. Place the wombok, chives, cooked chicken, beans and cucumber in a large serving bowl.
4. Combine the sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, white wine vinegar and fish sauce in a jar with a screw-top lid and shake well. Pour this dressing over the salad to serve.
