Cooking Steps
• Add water (for the rice) to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek! Little cooks: Older kids can help add the rice to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, grate carrot. Drain sweetcorn. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic paste, a generous pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. • Add cornflour and the plain flour to the chicken and toss to coat.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken, then cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked enough, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. • Wipe out the pan, then return to medium heat. Add honey-soy sauce, water (for the sauce) and a drizzle of vinegar. Stir until slightly reduced, 2-4 minutes. Return chicken to the pan and toss to coat.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Add shredded cabbage mix to the charred corn, along with carrot, garlic aioli, the sesame oil and a drizzle of vinegar. Season and toss to coat. • Divide jasmine rice between bowls. Top with creamy corn slaw and Asian crispy honey-soy chicken bites to serve. Enjoy!
