Cooking Steps

1

• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove 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!

2

• While rice is cooking, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Trim and halve baby broccoli. • Roughly chop Asian greens.

3

• Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook baby broccoli and carrot until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add Asian greens and ginger paste, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season, transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

4

• While veggies are cooking, in a medium bowl, combine chicken, the salt and cornflour. • When rice has 5 minutes remaining, return frying pan to a high heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, pick up chicken with tongs and shake off any excess flour. Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

5

• Add sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and sesame seeds and cook, tossing, until slightly reduced, 30 seconds.

6

• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with sticky sesame chicken and ginger veggies.
