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 jasmine rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. 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 pear into sticks. Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Japanese dressing. Set aside. • In a medium bowl, add cornflour, the plain flour and seasoning blend. Add chicken and toss to coat.
Little cooks: Kids can help combine the mayo and dressing!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Add sweet chilli sauce and the soy sauce to the pan and toss chicken to coat, 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, combine shredded cabbage mix, pear and a drizzle of vinegar in a second medium bowl.
Little cooks: Take the lead and help combine the slaw.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with sweet and sticky chicken and pear slaw. • Drizzle with Japanese mayo. Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
