Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
  • Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

Get prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, trim green beans. Thinly slice fresh chilli (if using).
  • In a medium bowl, add ginger lemongrass paste, coconut milk, fish sauce & rice vinegar mix and the egg (optional), stirring until combined. Set aside.

TIP: The egg is optional, however it is traditional in this dish!

Prep the chicken
3
  • Cut deep slices, taking care to not slice all the way through, across chicken breast in 1cm intervals.
Bake the chicken
4
  • When the rice has 15 minutes remaining, 
  • Place chicken in a baking dish and top with curry sauce.
  • Roast until cooked through, 14-18 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.

Steam the green beans
5
  • When the chicken has 5 minutes remaining, add green beans and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel.
  • Microwave green beans on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes.
  • Drain any excess liquid, then season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Finish & serve
6
  • Slice chicken.
  • Divide jasmine rice and steamed green beans between bowls.
  • Top with chicken and spoon over curry sauce.
  • Garnish with chilli to serve. Enjoy!
