Asian

Pesto is one of those wonderful things that lend themselves to infinate variation. The traditional way is great but there's no reason you can't mix things up occasionally. Mimi has come up with a fabulous Asian-inspired version that swaps basil and pine nuts for coriander and peanuts. It goes beautifully with crispy-skinned chicken atop a noodle nest!

Preparation
1
Prep the Chicken

Preheat your oven to **200°C** and put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the noodles. Put a splash of **oil** in a frying pan on medium-high heat. While the pan is getting hot, grate the **lime zest**. Pat the **chicken** with kitchen paper then put in a mixing bowl with a pinch of **salt**, a large grind of **black pepper** and the **lime zest**. Add a drizzle of **oil** and massage in the **seasoning**. Lay the **chicken** in the pan, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crispy, 5 mins. Turn and cook the flesh side for 1 minute.

2
Roast the Chicken

Add the **noodles** to your pan of boiling water. Cook until tender, 4-5 mins. Drain in a sieve then refill the pan with cold water and submerge the **noodles**. Set aside. Once the **chicken** is crispy transfer it, skin-side up, to a baking tray. Roast on the top shelf of your oven for 15-20 mins. ***TIP:*** The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle. When cooked, cover with foil and leave to rest. Don't wash your frying pan!

3
Prep the Veggies

While the **chicken** is cooking, peel and grate the **ginger** and **garlic** (or use a garlic press). Cut the **sweetheart cabbage** in half lengthways, remove the core and thinly slice widthways.

4
Make the Dressing

Finely chop the **coriander** (stalks and all). Chop the **peanuts**. Get the pieces as small as you can. Squeeze the **lime juice** into a bowl and add the **coriander, peanuts**, **soy sauce** and **ketjap manis**. Stir to combine and set aside.

5
Cook the Cabbage

Put a drizzle of **oil** in your (now empty) frying pan on medium heat. Add the **ginger** and **garlic** and cook for 1 minute. Then add the **cabbage**. Season with a pinch of **salt** and some **black pepper** and cook until softened, 5 mins. Drain the **noodles** and add them to your pan. Stir together and cook until piping hot, 3-4 mins. Remove from the heat and add three-quarters of the dressing. Toss to coat.

6
Finish and Serve

Cut the **chicken** on the diagonal into thin slices. Serve the **cabbage** and **noodles** in bowls with the **chicken** arranged on top. Finish with a drizzle of the **Asian pesto dressing**. **Enjoy!**
