About

This is a brilliantly hot and fresh Chinese salad – the spicy chicken and cooling cucumber balance each other perfectly. You can cook the chicken any way you like – roast, boil, fry – whichever you find easiest. The Chinese believe that eating the skin of the chicken is good for your skin, so if you’re feeling in need of some rejuvenation leave it on (although I prefer it without).

Really nice. I added some cabbage to increase the salad, and some extra szechuan sprinkled on top to increase the floral fragrance which gets lost a bit when you heat it
