Amount Ingredient

1 x juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tbl caster sugar
1 clv garlic crushed
1 x birds eye chilli very finely chopped
1 x bowlful shredded chicory cucumber beansprouts or baby spinach
4 x spring onions or 1 bunch chives trimmed and chopped
2 x handfuls coriander mint and basil leaves
2 lrg firm mangoes peeled and cut into waferthin slices
1 tbl black (or white) sesame seeds toasted in a dry frying pan
honey dressing:
5 tbl clear honey
3 tbl rice vinegar
120 ml groundnut oil
Instructions:
Instructions: Line the base of a steamer with a double thickness of foil.

Mix together the tea leaves brown sugar and rice and spread out over the foil.

Put the cooked chicken in the steaming tray assemble the steamer and cover with a lid. Place over a gentle heat and smoke for about 15 minutes.

Mix together the rice vinegar lemon juice caster sugar garlic and chilli and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Discard the chicken skin (and smoking ingredients). Pull the meat from the bone and toss with the ricevinegar mixture.

Prepare the dressing: put the honey and vinegar in a food processor and blend.

Mix the groundnut and sesame oils and pour through the feed tube in a steady stream continuing until combined with the honey mixture.

The dressing should be of a runnyhoney consistency.

Add the salad ingredients spring onion and herbs to the chicken and toss.

Pile onto plates or into bowls top with sliced mango and dress lightly with the honey dressing and toasted sesame seeds.

This to me is the perfect mango salad. Select firm fiuit: too ripe and the flesh will disintegrate as you slice. Dont be put off by the chickensmoking bit its easy although you could use plain cooked chicken instead. The dressing ingredients make more than you need but it wont homogenise if you use smaller quantities save the extra for further salads.

Serves 4 as a light lunch or 8 as a starter
