Two words describe this sweet citrus-soy chicken rice bowl. ‘Yum’ and ‘yum’, Chef! A bed of fluffy basmati rice forms the base in the bowl, which is topped with garlic & ginger, and sweet citrus-soy chicken. Then comes the cooling cucumber, crispy wonton strips, and sriracha mayo drizzle. Finished with kimchi for an extra yum.

FLUFFY RICE
Place the rinsed rice 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.
CRISPY WONTON STRIPS
Place a pan over high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the wonton strips until crispy and golden, 30-60 seconds per side. Drain on paper towel and season.
CITRUS-SOY CHICKEN
In a bowl, combine the sweet citrus-soy, the grated ginger & garlic, and seasoning. Set aside. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Cut into bite-sized pieces and coat in the cornflour. Return the pan to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the chicken until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and drain the oil. Add the sweet citrus-soy sauce and a splash of water to the pan with the chicken. Return the pan to medium heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
