    Heat the remaining sesame oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins until browned and cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat.

    Meanwhile, add the cabbage, carrot and spring onion to the dressing and toss to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad among bowls, top with the chicken, scatter with the almonds and enjoy!
