Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Rice
1

a) Boil a half-full kettle.

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 12-13 mins. 

c) Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

Fry your Chicken
2

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. 

c) Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Add the Veg
3

a) Meanwhile, zest and cut the lime into wedges.

b) Add the coleslaw mix to the chicken. Stir-fry until slightly softened, 1-2 mins. Add a drizzle of oil if needed.

Mix up the Sauce
4

a) In a small bowl, combine the ginger, garlic & lemongrass puree, ketjap manis, soy sauce and sambal (use less if you'd prefer things milder).

b) Mix in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), then set aside.

Combine and Stir
5

a) When the chicken is cooked, stir the sauce mixture into the pan and cook until thickened slightly, 1-2 mins.

b) Add a squeeze of lime juice from a lime wedge and a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

c) Taste and season with salt, pepper and a squeeze more lime juice if needed.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Stir the lime zest through the rice and share between your bowls.

b) Top with the chicken and veg stir-fry, spooning over any remaining sauce from the pan.

c) Sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Serve with any remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.

Enjoy!
