Singaporean Chicken Salad with Sesame Dressing (Bon Bon
Ji)Recipe
Ingredients
2 skinless
chicken breast fillets
1 whole small head of
Chinese celery (or substitute a large head of
Western celery)
1 tablespoon sesame
oil
3 spring onions,
thinly sliced, to garnish
for the dressing
2 tablespoons light
soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili oil
1 heaped teaspoon
sesame seeds
Serves 4
Method
Bring a pan of
water to the boil, add the chicken and simmer until just
cooked through, about 8 minutes. When cool enough to
handle, remove and shred into a bowl with your hands.
Break up the celery, discarding any hard outer pieces.
Cut off the broad hard section near the base of each
piece to leave a stem of equal width, top and bottom.
Pull away any leaves at the top and set these aside.
Chop the celery into thin matchsticks.
Place the chopped
celery, the reserved leaves and the shredded chicken in
a bowl, cover with sesame oil, stir well and set aside.
Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients in a
small bowl and set aside.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and celery mixture.
Stir well and turn
out on to a serving plate. Garnish with the spring onion
and serve.
