Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. • Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce mix and sweet chilli sauce. Crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a pestle and mortar, or in their sachet using a rolling pin. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook broccoli & carrot mix, tossing, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add ginger lemongrass paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.
• While veggies are cooking, cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine crushed peppercorns, cornflour, Southeast Asian spice blend and a pinch of salt. Add chicken and toss to coat. • Return frying pan to high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and add sweet chilli sauce mixture, tossing to coat.
• While chicken is cooking, in a small heatproof bowl, microwave garlic paste and the butter in 10 second bursts, until melted and fragrant. Stir garlic butter through rice. • Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with ginger veggies and Asian salt and pepper chicken. • Top with a dollop of garlic aioli. Sprinkle over crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
