Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and a generous pinch of salt to pan and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove 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!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • In a small bowl, combine sesame dressing and mayonnaise. Set aside.
Little cooks: Take charge by combining the sauces!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, tossing, until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add shredded cabbage mix and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add the honey and soy sauce and cook until bubbling, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the veggies to help speed up the cooking process.
• While the veggies are cooking, cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine the salt, Southeast Asian spice blend and the plain flour. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, pick up chicken using tongs and shake off any excess flour back into the bowl. • Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
TIP: Add a drizzle more oil if necessary! TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with honey-soy veggies and Southeast Asian chicken. • Garnish with spring onion and a dollop of japanese mayo to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the spring onion!
