Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

a) Boil a 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 10-12 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.

Pickle Time
2

a) Meanwhile, trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.

b) Add the carrot ribbons to a medium bowl with half of the rice vinegar and the sugar for the pickle (see pantry for amount). Add a pinch of salt, mix together, then set aside.

c) Trim the pak choi, then thinly slice widthways.

Fry the Chicken
3

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

Add the Flavour
4

a) Lower the heat to medium and add the pak choi and garlic, ginger and lemongrass paste to the pan. Cook for 1-2 mins. 

b) Stir through the ketjap manis, honey, water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and remaining rice vinegar. Cook until the sauce has reduced slightly, 2-3 mins.

Get Crushing
5

a) Meanwhile, crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

b) Fluff up the rice with a fork. 

Finish and serve
6

a) Share the rice between your serving bowls.

b) Top with the sticky glazed chicken and sprinkle over the peanuts. 

c) Serve with the ribbons of pickled carrot on top.

Enjoy!
