There are a few things that will make this Sweet Chilli Chicken with Rainbow Salad recipe a little easier to prepare.

To prepare the veggies, you could easily chop them up with a sharp knife, but as we love a kitchen gadget so we like to use either a mandoline or a julienne peelerIf you don’t have either of these then you can pick them up on Amazon.

If you want to go for the peeler option then we can’t recommend this Deiss PRO Dual Julienne Peeler & Vegetable Peeler enough.  You can use it to julienne the carrots and then flip it over to slice the cucumber into thin ribbons. How good is that!

If you’d rather go for the mandolin then we’d recommend this one as it has everything that you could possibly need.

This has to be the most used pan in our kitchen and you can get this Kitchen Craft 24 cm Cast Iron Round Ribbed Grill Pan super cheap over on Amazon.

It’s the one we have and use many times each week!
