  1. RICE, RICE BABY

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot. Submerge in 150ml of salted water, pop on a lid, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and mix through the edamame beans. Replace the lid and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes until cooked and tender. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot.

  2. ACT CASHEW-AL...

    Place the cashews in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.

  3. CRISPY CHICKY

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized chunks. Place 1 tsp of the cornflour in a bowl, crack in 1 egg, and add a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined. Place a pot over medium-high heat and fill with 4-5cm of oil. Place the remaining cornflour in a separate bowl and season well. Add the chicken to the bowl of egg and cornflour, and toss until fully coated. One by one, remove each piece and coat in the dry cornflour, dusting off any excess before transfering to a plate. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Remove on completion and set aside to drain on some paper towel.

  4. A LIL SWEET & A LIL SOUR

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion slices for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Mix in the pineapple pieces and fry for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Stir through the sweet ’n sour sauce and 20ml of a sweetener of choice. Allow to come to the boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Stir through the chicken pieces until fully coated. Season to taste, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.

  5. ALMOST THERE

    Once the rice is cooked and drained, fluff up with a fork and stir through the tamari until fully coated.

  6. THE MAIN EVENT

    Serve up a large helping of tamari-infused rice and edamame beans, and cover in the sweet ’n sour crispy chicken. Scatter over the chopped cashews, pickled peppers, and coriander. Simply gorgeous, Chef!
