IT’S ALL IN THE INFUSION
Place the rice, the ginger, the coconut milk, and 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water in a pot over medium-high heat. Cover with the lid and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
CRUMBY CHICKY
In a shallow dish, whisk 1 egg with 1 tbsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing the flour (lightly seasoned), and the other containing a mixture of the cashews and the breadcrumbs. Coat the Chicken strips in the flour first, then the egg, and lastly, the cashew crumb mixture.
NOW FOR THE FRYING
Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed Chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel. Alternatively, air fry the crumbed chicken at 200°C until crispy, 10-15 minutes (shifting halfway).
STICKY COATING
Drain the oil from the pan. Return the pan to medium heat with the sweet-soy and the ½ the lemon juice. When starting to bubble, add the fried Chicken and the peppers. Simmer until the sauce is sticky and the chicken & peppers are coated, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally).
