Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Add your chicken thighs to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)
Slice your white cup mushrooms finely
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a knob of butter over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6-8 min or until browned
Peel half your carrot[s], then continue to peel lengths until you end up with a pile of carrot ribbons and grate the remaining carrot[s]
Cut your cucumber in half lengthways then slice half the cucumber lengthways, and slice the remaining cucumber into half moons
Strip your mint leaves from their stems
Finely chop half your mint and coriander and set aside the remaining leaves
Combine half your rice vinegar and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar in a bowl with the grated carrot, cucumber half moons, chopped herbs and a pinch of salt – this is your pickled salad
Combine your mayo and sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a small bowl with the remaining rice vinegar, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a small splash of cold water – this is your sriracha mayo
Once the mushrooms are browned, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, transfer the mushrooms to a food processor with a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper
Blitz until smooth – this is your mushroom pâté
Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean board (reserve the tray!) and shred apart using two forks – this is your pulled chicken
Combine your red chilli relish and pulled chicken with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and mix until well coated – this is your sweet chilli chicken
Discard the tin foil from the reserved tray, then add your baguette[s] and put the tray in the oven for 2-3 min or until warmed through and crusty
Slice each warmed baguette in half (without cutting all the way through) and open it out like a book
Spread over the mushroom pâté and top with the sweet chilli chicken, carrot ribbons, cucumber slices and reserved mint & coriander leaves – this is your sweet chilli chicken & mushroom báhn mì
Serve the pickled salad and sriracha mayo to the side
Enjoy!
