Instructions

Boil Rice
1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with 0.25 tsp salt on high heat. Boil the rice, 12-13 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
Sizzle Time
2
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, mushrooms and young pea pods, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. 
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cut the lime into wedges (see ingredients for amount).
Simmer Sauce
3
  • Next, add the Szechuan paste (see ingredients, add less if you'd prefer things milder), soy, ketjap, honey and water (see pantry for both).  
  • Bring to the boil, then simmer, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.
  • Squeeze in half the lime juice. Add a splash of water if needed.
Dinner's Ready!

  • Divide the rice and stir-fry between your bowls. 
  • Sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
  • Serve with any remaining lime wedges for squeezing over. 

Enjoy!
