Pan-fried chicken and stir-fried veggies; it’s almost too good to be true. Cook the veggies in an umami oyster sauce and sprinkle on the delicious combination of sweet and soy over the chicken. This will help to give it a signature golden glow. Even the rice has an extra kick of flavour from the garlic. This dinner really is a dream come true!

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and a generous pinch of salt to the pan and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine sweet soy seasoning, the remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to combine.
• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, add cornflour and the plain flour to the bowl of chicken. Toss to coat. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken and cook in batches, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of sesame oil. • Cook Asian stir-fry mix and ginger paste until tender and fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the ginger paste starts to spatter!
• Remove pan from heat, then add oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar and a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with oyster sauce veggies and Asian stir-fried chicken. • Dollop with sesame dressing to serve. Enjoy!
