Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

Fill and boil your kettle. Pour the boiling water into a saucepan and bring back to the boil. Stir in the basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Cook until the rice is tender, 10-12 mins. Drain into a sieve or colander and keep to one side.

Brown the Chicken
2

Meanwhile, heat in a large deep frying pan over medium heat (no oil!) and add the sesame seeds. Cook, stirring regularly, until golden, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch it like a hawk as it can burn easily. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. Heat a splash of oil in the empty frying pan over high heat. When hot, add the diced chicken thigh, season with salt and pepper and cook until browned, 4-5 mins. TIP: Cook in batches if necessary. Turn occasionally.

Prep
3

As the rice and chicken cook, chop the sugar snaps into 1cm pieces. Trim the spring onion then thinly slice. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest the lime and chop into wedges. Drain the sweetcorn.

Add Some Flavour!
4

Once the chicken is browned, add the sesame seeds and stir-fry until beginning to colour, 2 mins. Add half the spring onions, ginger puree, sriracha, garlic and sugar snaps to the pan and cook for 2 mins more, stirring frequently. TIP: The sriracha is spicy, so just add half if you don't like heat. Add the drained sweetcorn to the pan and stir-fry until piping hot, another 2 mins. Lower the heat to medium.

Add the Rice
5

The chicken should be cooked through by this stage. If not, cook for a couple of mins more. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. When the chicken is ready, stir the cooked rice into the pan and heat until piping hot, 1-2 mins. Make sure you evenly distribute the chicken, sugar snaps and sweetcorn.

Serve
6

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the soy sauce and lime zest. Share between your bowls and finish with a sprinkle the remaining spring onions. Serve with a wedge of lime and Enjoy!
