Method
Make the marinade
To make the marinade, combine the sriracha or chilli sauce (maybe do half-half just to spice it up. Pun intended), soy sauce and honey in a large bowl.
Make The Tacos
Add the chicken and stir to coat. Set aside for 5 mins to develop all the juicy flavours.
Heat a wokor a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tsp of the sesame oil. Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade.
Add one-quarter of the chicken to the wok or pan and stir-fry for 3 mins or until golden and cooked through. Transfer it to a bowl. Repeat the process in three more batches with the remaining chicken and sesame oil.
Return the chicken to the wok or pan with the reserved marinade and bring it to the boil. Cook for 2 mins or until the sauce thickens.
Meanwhile, heat a chargrill on high. Cook the tortillas, in batches, for 30 secs each side or until lightly charred and heated through.
Divide the tortillas evenly among serving plates.
Spoon over the kimchi, carrot, cucumber and chicken mixture. Drizzle with mayonnaise.
And you're done! It's that simple.
