This Crunchy Asian Salad with Oumph! Chunks is a no-fuss Summer recipe that you can serve for lunch or dinner. Great for sharing, it is also a perfect side dish for a barbecue.
This dish is bursting with flavours thanks to a tasty dressing made with lime juice, ginger, tamari and sesame oil. The quantities below will serve 4 as a main dish.
High in protein, Oumph! Chunks are available in the frozen section of supermarkets. Made from soya, water and salt they are a plant-based alternative to meat. They not only look like chicken (see picture above) but also have the same texture and feel.
Whether you are vegetarian, vegan or simply trying to reduce your meat consumption, Oumph! Chunks make a tasty meal option. Ready in 6-8 mins, they are also perfect if you are in a rush.

Like my Asian vermicelli noodle salad (with smoked tofu) this is a refreshing recipe that you can enjoy all-year round.
