Instructions
Pop your kettle on to boil. Trim the carrot (no need to peel) and grate using a coarse grater. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Trim the spring onion and thinly slice. Cut the chicken breasts widthways into 1cm thick strips. IMPORTANT: Remember to wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
Pour the boiling water (see ingredients for amount) into a large saucepan and bring to the boil. When boiling, stir in the stock powder and rice, lower the heat to medium and pop a lid on the pan. Cook for 10 mins, then remove from the heat and set aside (still covered) for another 10 mins or until ready to serve. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the ketchup with the soy sauce, honey and ketjap manis. Halve the lime and squeeze in the juice of one half. Cut the other half into wedges.
Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan (or wok) over high heat. When the oil is hot, stir-fry the chicken until browned on the outside, 5 mins. Add the pepper and cook for another 5 mins. Add the sugar snaps and the carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 mins, then add the sauce. Stir together and cook until bubbling, then remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
When everything is ready you can serve the kids. Top a portion of rice with the stir-fry for each of them. Twist It Up: pimp the remaining rice for the grown-ups by stirring through the coconut powder and half the spring onion. Taste and add salt and black pepper if necessary.
Spoon the coconut rice for the adults into bowls and top with the chicken stir-fry. Finish with a sprinkling of the remaining spring onion. Serve with lime wedges on the side for people to squeeze over as they please. Enjoy!
