Method
- Heat the olive oil in a wok or large frying pan and stir-fry the chicken over a high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, sugar and chillies and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is browned and the sauce has reduced to a sticky glaze.
- Cut the cucumber in half lengthways, scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon and discard, then slice on the diagonal.
- Toss with the chicken. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over, and soy sauce for drizzling.
