Yakitori Oumi & Chicken

Thought you couldn’t put cheese with East Asian style food? Think again!
Yakitori skewer of Oumi cheese, chicken and green pepper over noodles with red chilli, mushrooms and spring onion

This Yakitori Chicken and Oumi skewer is a-ma-zing, and perfect for when you want a change from your usual BBQ dishes, but still want something summer-y.

Also, you can substitute the chicken breast for mushrooms if you want to do a veggie version of this dish (the mushrooms tend to suck up the flavour of the sauce so well and taste delicious!). This recipe uses Oumi which is a melt-in-your-mouth grilling cheese and a great alternative to the traditional Cypriot Halloumi.
