Chinese Chopped Chicken Salad with Bacon XO Sauce image

XO sauce is a funky chile and pork sauce that adds a wonderful depth of flavor to Chinese dishes, but it takes time and lots of ingredients to make at home. This is a great little shortcut, using a jar of ready-made bacon jam (easily available online and in supermarkets) and adding a twist with soy sauce, fish sauce and rice vinegar.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

350 grams (12 ounces) red cabbage (about 1/3), finely shredded
1/2 Chinese cabbage, shredded
1 large carrot (150grams/5 ounces), peeled and julienned or shredded
Olive oil, for cooking
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
One 100-gram (3 1/2-ounce) jar bacon jam
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon reduced salt soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 bird's-eye chile, finely chopped
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced salt soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Put the shredded cabbages and carrot into a salad bowl. Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing together in a small bowl, pour over the salad and toss to combine. Set aside to soften and macerate.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan. Season the chicken and fry over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until just cooked. Set aside to rest.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan warm the bacon jam with the fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar and chile.
  • Chop the chicken and add to the salad with the warm bacon jam. Toss to combine before serving.
