Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Vegan chicken strips
- 120 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 large Carrot, spiralized or julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 150 g Mixed salad greens
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 large Lime, cut into wedges
- 3 tbsp Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tsp Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tsp Agave syrup

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, ground coriander, and ground turmeric. Whisk together until well combined.
Add the vegan chicken strips to the marinade. Stir to coat the strips thoroughly, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the vegan chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut dressing. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, lime juice, chili garlic sauce, agave syrup, and warm water. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set this aside.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, add the marinated vegan chicken strips without adding extra oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally until they are golden brown and heated through.
In a large salad bowl, mix together the salad greens, cucumber slices, spiralized carrot, and red bell pepper. Top with the cooked vegan chicken strips.
Drizzle the prepared peanut dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
