Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add ginger paste and jasmine rice, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in the boiling water (5 cups for 2 people / 10 cups for 4 people) and chicken stock pot. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain sweetcorn. • Roughly chop Asian greens. Thinly slice radish into sticks. Finely chop garlic.
• Once rice is tender, remove lid and stir in sweetcorn and the salt. • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until congee has thickened, 15-20 minutes. Season to taste.
TIP: Add an extra dash of water to your congee if you prefer a thinner consistency.
• While congee is thickening, in a small heatproof bowl, combine garlic, the brown sugar and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). • In a large frying pan, heat olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) over high heat, until just smoking, 30 seconds - 1 minute, then carefully pour the oil over the garlic mixture. • Stir in soy sauce mix until combined. Set aside.
TIP: The hot oil will bubble up and 'cook' the garlic.
• In a medium bowl, combine Asian BBQ seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken thigh, turning to coat. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook Asian greens, until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. • Return pan to medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and cook chicken thigh, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes.
• Slice chicken. • Divide ginger rice congee between bowls. Top with Chinese BBQ chicken, Asian greens and radish. • Drizzle garlic chilli oil over congee. Sprinkle over crispy shallots. Enjoy!
