- 2 Spring Onions, Finely Sliced
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Mint
- 2 Teaspoon Finely Chopped Lemon Grass
Method
- First make the dressing. Put the ingredients (coconut milk, coriander, fish sauce, salt, pepper, soft brown sugar, spring onions, mint and lemon grass) in a small pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cut the chicken and mango flesh into cubes and place in a large bowl with the nuts. Toss to mix.
