Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Rice
1

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt for the rice.
b) When boiling, add the rice and cook for 12 mins.
c) Drain in a sieve and pop back into the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side.

Brown the Chicken
2

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.
b) When hot, add the diced chicken thigh, season with salt and pepper and stir-fry until browned, 6-7 mins. TIP: Cook in batches if necessary, you want it to brown, not stew. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging.

Prep Time
3

a) Meanwhile, chop the sugar snap peas into 1cm pieces. Trim and thinly slice the spring onion.
b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
d) Zest the lime and chop into wedges.
e) Roughly chop the peanuts.

Add Some Flavour
4

a) Once the chicken has browned, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry until golden brown, 3-4 mins.
b) Add the ginger puree, sambal, garlic, sugar snaps and half the spring onion to the pan and cook for 2 mins more, stirring frequently. TIP: Add less sambal if you don't like too much heat.
c) Lower the heat to medium.

Add the Rice
5

a) Once everything is cooked, stir the cooked rice into the pan and heat until piping hot, 1-2 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Finish
6

a) Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the soy sauce, ketjap manis, lime zest and a squeeze of lime juice.
b) Share between your bowls and finish with a sprinkle of peanuts and the remaining spring onions.
c) Serve with a wedge of lime for squeezing over. Enjoy!
