  1. ROAST

    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).

  2. TOAST

    Place the sesame seeds in a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. Toast until they pop, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. CHICKEN

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes. Using two forks, gently shred the chicken, and season.

  4. CHARRED CORN

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil, if necessary. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  5. JUST BEFORE SERVING

    In a small bowl, combine the Asian dressing with 2 tbsp of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. In a salad bowl, combine the roasted carrot, the diced cucumber, the shredded salad leaves, the charred corn, and the shredded chicken.

  6. TIME FOR DINNER
