Step 1

To make the carrot and snow pea salad, place the sunflower and sesame oils with lime juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.

Step 2

Blanch the carrots and snow peas in boiling salted water for 1 minute. Drain, refresh in cold water, then drain again. Add drained carrots and snow peas to the bowl with sesame seeds and toss to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

Place minced chicken, breadcrumbs, spring onions, coriander, garlic, ginger and egg in a food processor and pulse to combine.

Step 4

Divide chicken mixture into 12 equal pieces, then wet your hands (so that the mixture does not stick to them) and shape into neat ovals. Place bites on a lightly oiled baking sheet, then refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Step 6

Bake chicken bites for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Step 7

Serve hot or cold with carrot and snow pea salad, and sweet chilli sauce, tomato sauce or yoghurt for dipping if desired.
