RICE
Rinse the rice and place it in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, mix through the edamame beans, and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
Chicken
Place a pan over medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and cut into 1cm chunks. Coat in the spice mix and season. When the oil is hot, fry the chicken until cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
SAUCE
Peel and grate the Garlic and the ginger. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the garlic and the ginger until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the Indo-Sesame sauce and 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the golden chicken pieces and remove from the heat. While the sauce is simmering, rinse and finely chop the chives.
