  • 15 ml cider vinegar
  • 1 carrot
  • 30 gr mature cheddar cheese
  • 260 gr diced british chicken breast
  • 30 gr gochujang paste
  • 2 burger buns
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 15 ml cider vinegar
  • 1 carrot
  • 30 gr mature cheddar cheese
  • 260 gr diced british chicken breast
  • 30 gr gochujang paste
  • 2 burger buns
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 15 ml cider vinegar
  • 1 carrot
  • 30 gr mature cheddar cheese
  • 260 gr diced british chicken breast
  • 30 gr gochujang paste
  • 2 burger buns
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. a) In a medium bowl, stir together the cider vinegar and olive oil (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper.
    b) Trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core. Add the ribbons to the bowl of cider vinegar dressing and toss to coat.
    c) Grate your Cheddar cheese.
  2. a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
    b) Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
    c) Once cooked, turn down the heat to medium. Stir in the gochuchang paste to coat the chicken and cook until thickened slightly, 1-2 mins.
  3. a) When the gochujang chicken is ready, halve the burger buns, pop them onto your plates and spread the mayo (see pantry for amount) onto the lids of the buns.
    b) Drain the pickling juice from the carrots, then load the bases with the pickled carrot ribbons. 
    c) Top the carrots with the gochujang chicken.
    d) Arrange the grated Cheddar on top of the chicken, then sandwich shut with the bun lids.
    Enjoy!
