Instructions
- In a large bowl, prepare the marinade for chicken breasts by mixing water, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, and garlic powder.
- Cut the chicken breasts into thicker noodles and soak them in the marinade.
- The longer you let them marinate, the more aromas they will absorb and they will be tastier. You can let them marinate overnight.
- Then grill the chicken breasts in a pan until golden on both sides (about 7 minutes).
- In a small bowl, combine water, vinegar, honey, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
- Add finely chopped cucumbers and radishes into the small bowl. Place the bowl in the refrigerator while you prepare the sauces.
- Prepare the sauces by mixing all the ingredients together.
- You can also let them set in the fridge for a while, but it's not necessary.
- When serving, put a salad leaf, grated carrots, cucumbers, radishes, and a piece of chicken breast smeared with cashew sauce in each cabbage leaf.
- Fold or roll the filled wrap and dip in sauces.
- Bon appetite!
