ROAST CARROTS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the carrot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
NUTTY & GOLDEN
Place the chopped cashews in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CORN & PEPS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pepper slices and the corn until charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season, remove from the pan, and set aside.
PLUMP THE EDAMAME
Boil the kettle. Submerge the edamame beans in salted boiling water until plumped up, 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
PERFECT PONZU
In a small bowl, combine the sweet ponzu with ½ the chopped coriander, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
FRY THE CHICKEN
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
PINEAPPLE & POPPY SALAD
Place a clean pan over high heat. When hot, fry the pineapple fingers until charred, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, cut into bite-sized pieces, and place in a bowl. Toss with the poppy seeds, the blanched edamame beans, the shredded leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
