Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. Rinse and drain white rice. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the rice) and the salt and bring to the boil. • Add rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. Thinly slice carrot into sticks. Roughly chop Asian greens. Thinly slice spring onion (reserve white ends!). • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • Heat a large saucepan over high heat. Add the boiling water (3 cups for 2 people / 6 cups for 4 people), chicken-style stock powder, chicken and white ends of the spring onion. • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 8-12 minutes.
• Add carrot, Asian greens and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave veggies on high until just tender, 2-3 minutes. • Drain, then return to bowl and cover to keep warm.
• While veggies are cooking, crush long chilli (if using) and remaining garlic with a pestle and mortar. Some like it hot, but if you don’t just hold back on the chilli. • SPICY! Use less sriracha if you're sensitive to heat! Add sriracha, the vinegar, olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) and a good pinch of brown sugar. Pound until your preferred consistency. Season to taste.
TIP: If you don't have a pestle and mortar, you can combine ingredients in a food processor.
• In a small heatproof bowl, combine ginger lemongrass paste and sesame oil blend. Microwave until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Season with salt and pepper then add sliced spring onion. Stir to combine. • Using tongs, remove chicken from the saucepan and transfer to a chopping board. Slice chicken.
• Divide rice and steamed veggies between bowls. Top with poached Hainanese chicken. • Spoon over ginger lemongrass oil and some broth. • Serve with DIY sambal and soy sauce mix. Enjoy!
