LET’S GET GOING
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the chicken pieces on a roasting tray. Pat dry with some paper towel, coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and becoming crispy.
RICE N’ SHINE
Rinse the rice under cold water until it runs clear - this prevents the rice from becoming stodgy. Place in a lidded pot, over medium-high heat with 250ml of fresh, salted water. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. On completion, remove from the heat and fluff up with a fork.
TOASTY SEEDS
Place a pan on a medium heat with the sesame seeds. Dry toast until golden, about 3-5 minutes. Shift occasionally for even colouring.
CREAMY TAHINI SLAW
In a small bowl whisk the tahini, a squeeze of lime juice to taste and 15ml water. In a separate bowl add the shredded cabbage and julienne carrot, spring onion, ½ of the chopped mint, lime zest and the tahini mixture. Add 1 tsp of olive oil and the chopped chilli to taste. Season and toss to combine. Set aside until serving.
STICKY CHICKEN
Place a pan large enough for the chicken pieces over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the teriyaki sauce and sweetener of choice to taste. Once slightly bubbling, add the cooked chicken pieces and toss until fully coated. Gently simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickening. Remove from the heat with all the pan juices and set aside.
FUSION FEAST
Make a bed of sushi rice, and top with the teriyaki chicken with all the pan juices. Serve alongside the tahini slaw. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and remaining mint. Garnish with a lime wedge. Enjoy Chef!
