Let’s begin with

The Asian style chicken filling

• Mince the chicken in a food processor or a mixer grinder and keep aside.
• In a skillet heat oil on medium flame, add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, then add the onions and continue to cook for another minute till the onions begin to sweat.
• At this stage add in all the sauces- tomato ketchup, red chilli sauce, Red Chilli sauce (Sichuan Sauce), along with vinegar, soy sauce, salt and black pepper powder.
• Stir well, and finally add the minced chicken. Mix well and cook until the chicken has completely cooked through. This will take about 4 minutes, as minced chicken cooks very fast.
• Turn off the flame, check the salt and seasoning and adjust according to taste. Transfer the chicken into a bowl. Keep aside.

To make the salad

• In a mixing bowl, combine the purple cabbage along with the spring onion greens, mayonnaise, salt and lemon juice.
