Method
- Put the carrots, beansprouts, mint leaves, shallots and chillies in a large bowl and gently toss together (you can add 1 finely sliced head of Chinese leaf for a bulkier salad if you like). Set aside.
- For the dressing, put the garlic, sugar, rice vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, vegetable oil and some freshly ground black pepper into a small bowl and whisk well.
- Divide the salad between 4 bowls. Add the cooked, sliced chicken, toss well and drizzle with the dressing. Garnish with the extra mint, chilli and seeds.
