Satay Chicken San Choi Bow
These satay chicken san choi bow are perfect when we want something light yet satisfying that can be prepped ahead of time.
I often make the filling earlier in the day and reheat gently when we’re ready to eat, then serve it in crisp lettuce cups with a scattering of activated nuts and spring onion.
The satay sauce from Undivided Food Co makes this super simple; it's one of those pantry items I trust for both its flavour and ingredients. It brings richness from sesame and cashew, a gentle spice, and a depth that elevates even a basic mince dish. No need to overcomplicate.
Chicken provides complete protein and highly bioavailable iron; essential for neurotransmitter production, oxygen transport, and stable energy. The finely chopped carrot and capsicum contribute gentle fibre and vitamin C to enhance iron absorption, while supporting motility and gut-brain signalling. Topping with activated nuts introduces zinc and magnesium, alongside sprouted enzymes that ease the digestive load and enhance mineral uptake.
We keep meals like this on rotation because they’re deeply nourishing, quick to pull together, and easy for little hands to enjoy.
