OFF TO A GRATE START
Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the grated Ginger, the grated Garlic, and the spring onion whites. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the rinsed rice and the stock. Submerge in 225ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat, add the shredded Spinach, and steam for 10 minutes. Drain if necessary.
TIME FOR THE 2ND ROUND
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the baby marrow rounds and fry for 5-6 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Drain on paper towel and season.
GET THE Chicken CRISPY
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the chicken, skin-side down, for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Flip, pop on the lid, and fry for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil and the rub. Remove from the heat and rest in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.
MIX IT UP
When the rice is done, add the browned baby marrow, ½ the picked coriander, and seasoning. Mix until combined.
