1. Set oven to 250ºC. Combine lime zest, coconut milk, 2 tsp turmeric and 2 tbsp soy sauce.

3. Slice pumpkin into crescents. Toss on a lined oven tray with 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Roast in oven for 20-25 minutes until tender.
4. Dice cucumber, pick mint leaves and slice chilli. Toss together with bean shoots.
5. Whisk together 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp vinegar and 2 tbsp olive oil. Arrange pumpkin on a platter, top with salad and spoon over dressing.

NOTES
Slashing the chicken will increase the surface area for the marinade as well as speed up the cooking time.
