Instructions
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the jasmine rice, water (for the rice) and a pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water has absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the onion. Trim the green beans and halve lengthways. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice the fresh chilli (if using). Roughly chop the herbs. Cut the chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. Crush the black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a mortar and pestle, or in their sachet using a rolling pin.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. In a shallow bowl, add the plain flour and chicken, then toss to coat. Using tongs, shake off any excess flour, then add the chicken to the pan. Cook, tossing, until golden and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
SPICY! Crushed pepper can be hot, add less if you're sensitive to heat.
Wash and dry the frying pan, then return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onion and carrot, tossing, until tender, 5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, tossing, until tender, 2 minutes. Add the ginger paste, crushed peppercorns and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the teriyaki sauce, the soy sauce and water (for the sauce). Stir to combine.
Add the chicken and spring onion, then stir to coat in the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat.
Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the black pepper chicken and veggies. Garnish with the coriander and chilli to serve.
