Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) If you don't have a toaster, preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 for the burger buns.

b) In a medium bowl, stir together the cider vinegar and olive oil (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper.

c) Trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core. Add the ribbons to the bowl of cider vinegar dressing and toss to coat.

Bring on the Gochujang Chicken
2

a) Whilst the carrot ribbons pickle, halve the burger buns. Grate your Cheddar cheese.

b) If you're using the toaster, toast the burger buns in your toaster until golden.

c) If you're using the oven, place the buns onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

d) Meanwhile, tear your cooked chicken slices into bite-sized pieces and pop into a large bowl. 

e) Add the gochujang paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and honey (see pantry for amount) to the chicken and stir to fully coat in the paste. 

Lunch is Served
3

a) Pop the warm burger buns onto 2 serving plates.

c) Drain and discard the pickling juice from the carrots, then load the bases with the pickled carrot ribbons. 

d) Top the carrots with the gochujang chicken.

e) Arrange the grated Cheddar on top of the chicken, then sandwich shut with the bun lids.

Enjoy!
