  1. Ginger RICE

    Place the rice and fresh Ginger into 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 and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. CRUMBED CHICKEN

    Place a pan over medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed chicken until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy and warmed through, 3-5 minutes.

  3. SO-GOOD SWEET-SOY

    Drain the oil from the pan. Return the pan to medium heat with the sweet-soy and ½ the lemon juice. When starting to bubble, add the fried chicken and the peppers. Simmer until the sauce is sticky and the chicken is coated, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). In a salad bowl, toss together the salad leaves, carrots, a drizzle of oil, the lemon juice (to taste) and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. A MASTERPIECE

    Make a bed of the Ginger rice and top with the sticky chicken. Side with the fresh salad and garnish with the nuts and pickled ginger. Well done, Chef!
