Fresh, lemony, herby and delicate, this is how Niki Bakes describes Vietnamese cuisine. Where Korean food is a flamboyant, spicy and sauce scene, Vietnamese cuisine is light, harmonious and effortlessly tasty. Read on to see just how easy this dish designed by Niki is.

Serves 4

Time: 45 minutes- 1 hour

Method

01
Pour all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and place the chicken in the same bowl. Using clean hands, make sure you coat every chicken tender with your marinade. Let this sit for 10 minutes.
02
While you're waiting, prepare your veg and start to lay out a platter as photographed so your chicken can be served on top.
03
Heat your pan on a medium-high heat and cook your chicken for about 8-10 minutes, turning them once during cooking. I like to slash my chicken as it cooks to help create a more tender dish at the end. Dish up warm and enjoy!
