Chicken Kebabs with Tomato Chilli Sauce
Thread the chicken onto wooden kebab sticks that have been pre-soaked, alternating with the cherry tomatoes.
In a shallow dish, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, chilli flakes and spring onions. Season with salt, black pepper and sugar. Add the kebabs, turning them to coat in the marinade, then cover and leave to marinate for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally.
Next, preheat the grill to hot.
For the sauce, mix together all the ingredients and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar.
Grill the kebabs under the hot grill for 8-10 minutes, turning often.
Serve with the tomato chilli sauce, garnished with toasted sesame seeds, spring onions and lime wedges. For a more substantial meal, serve the kebabs in warm wraps.
