a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9. Boil a full kettle.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
d) Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat. Sprinkle over the Thai style spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder), drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then rub to coat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
a) Once the oil is hot, lay the chicken into the pan. Fry until golden, 3-4 mins, then turn and cook for 1 min more.
b) Transfer the chicken to a baking tray, skin-side up. Roast the chicken on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
c) Pop the young pea pods onto another baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the yellow Thai style paste and stir-fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

c) Stir in the ketjap, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts), stir to combine and bring to the boil. Simmer until thickened, 3-5 mins. Taste and season if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.
a) While the sauce simmers, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
b) When everything's ready, fluff the rice up with a fork.
c) Slice the roasted chicken widthways into 1cm slices.
a) Share the rice between your bowls.
b) Top with the sliced chicken, roasted young pea pods and carrot pickle.
c) Drizzle the satay sauce over the chicken and finish with a sprinkle of coriander.
Enjoy!
