  1. RICE

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. PREP

    Trim the pak choi at the base and rinse. Roughly slice the stems and cut the leaves in half lengthways. Peel and grate the garlic and the ginger. Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the coriander. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and cut into 1cm strips.

  3. GOLDEN CHICKEN

    Place a pan over high-heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken strips until golden but not cooked through, 30-60 seconds per side. Remove from the pan.

  4. TURMERIC CHICKEN

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pak choi stems, the grated garlic, and the grated ginger until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the turmeric mix and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the coconut milk and simmer until slightly reduced, 4-5 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the golden chicken, the edamame beans, and the pak choi leaves. Remove from the heat and season.
