Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breast fillet into 1.5 - 2 cm thick strips. Bring plenty of water to the boil in a saucepan, add 1 teaspoon of salt and remove from the heat. Add the chicken pieces and let them steep for about 5 minutes, then strain. Make a test beforehand by cutting one in half.
  2. Wash the cucumber and cut lengthways into thin strips with a peeler, add plenty of salt and let it steep for a few minutes. Then place in a bowl filled with cold water. This makes the structure a little firmer and most of the salt is rinsed off again.
  3. Mix the remaining ingredients into a marinade.
  4. Divide the chicken breast strips into bite-sized pieces with your fingers and mix with the marinade.
  5. Drain the cucumber strips carefully and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
  6. First drape the cucumber strips on a large plate or platter. Top with the marinated chicken pieces. Decorate with coriander leaves and drizzle with a little sesame oil.
