Ingredients

300 gram chicken thigh fillets, cut into thirds

2 tablespoon kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)

1/2 teaspoon white sugar

2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon fish sauce

1 long red chilli, finely chopped

2 telegraph cucumbers

coriander leaves to serve

Method

1.Combine chicken, kecap manis, sugar, ginger, sauce and chilli in a large bowl. Cover, then refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.

2.Heat oil in a large frying pan and cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Leave to cool.

3.Cut the cucumbers into 1cm-thick slices. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the seeds halfway down the cucumber slice to allow space for the chicken, but not breaking through the cucumber.

4.When slightly cooled, shred chicken using two forks. Top each cucumber slice with a little chicken and a coriander leaf. Serve immediately.
