Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Rinse and drain white rice. • Add white 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 all the water is absorbed, 12 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot and cucumber into ribbons (stop when you reach the seeds in the centre) • Slice lemon into wedges.
• In a pestle and mortar, pound coriander, long chilli (if using) and remaining garlic until it resembles a fine paste. • Add fish sauce & rice vinegar mix, the white sugar, hot water and a generous squeeze of lemon uice. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
TIP: Some like it hot, but if you don't, just hold back on the chilli. TIP: If you don't have a pestle and mortar, you can combine ingredients in a food processor.
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • To a medium bowl, add cornflour, satay seasoning, the cold water, egg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk, until smooth and combined. Add chicken chunks, tossing to coat. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • When oil is hot, shake off excess batter and cook chicken, until browned, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
• In a second medium bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add cucumber, carrot and mixed salad leaves, tossing to coat. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice and cucumber ribbon salad between bowls. Top with Thai fried chicken bites. Serve with DIY nam chim sauce. Enjoy!
