Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice and ¼ tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Get Prepped
2

Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

Halve the young pea pods lengthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Cut each chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.

Put the cornflour into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat completely in the cornflour. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Stir-Fry the Veg
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. 

Once hot, add the sliced pepper and onion. Stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins. 

Add the garlic and cook for 30 secs. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside for now.

Fry the Chicken
4

Pop your (now empty) frying pan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil

Once hot, add the chicken thigh. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 10-12 mins. Discard the remaining cornflour in the bowl.

Once the chicken is cooked, lower the heat to medium and add the cooked veg back to the pan. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Sauce Things Up
5

Drain the prawns. Stir the prawns, pea pods, ketjap manis, rice vinegar, ketchup, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for all three amounts) into the pan.

Simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Remove from the heat. TIP: The sauce should be sticky, but add a splash more water if you'd like.

Finish and Serve
6

Fluff up the rice with a fork and spoon into your bowls.

Serve with the sticky chicken, prawns and veg on top.

Enjoy!
