Ingredients
Method
To make pickled vegetables, whisk vinegar and sugar together in a jug. Place carrot and cucumber in a bowl. Pour over vinegar mixture. Cover and chill in refrigerator until required.
Heat oil in large frying pan on medium. Cook schnitzels for 2-3 minutes each side (or following packet instructions), until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel. Slice thinly.
To make sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan, and stir over a medium heat, until just boiling.
Divide hot rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top with lettuce and chicken slices. Drizzle with sauce. Serve with pickled carrot and cucumber.
To make schnitzel, pound thin chicken breast fillet slices to even thickness, coat in flour, egg and breadcrumbs. Chill 15 minutes before cooking.
