Step 1
Soak 4 wooden skewers in hot water for 20 minutes. Mix half the chopped shallots, and all of the coriander, cumin, turmeric, fish sauce and peanut butter together, then add 3 tbsp boiling water to make a sauce. Toss with the chicken and leave for 15 minutes (you can marinate for a couple of hours if you want to make it ahead).

To make the salad, halve the cucumber lengthways, then scoop out seeds with a teaspoon and slice thinly. Put the lime juice, sugar, chilli, fish sauce and the rest of the shallots in a bowl. Mix until the sugar dissolves, then toss with the radishes, cucumber and mint.
