• 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!
• Thinly slice celery and carrot into sticks. • Trim green beans. • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Japanese dressing. Little cooks: Take charge by combining the sauces!
• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and sweet soy seasoning. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. Dip chicken into flour mixture to coat, then into egg, and finally in breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate. Little cooks: Help crumb the chicken! Use one hand for the wet ingredients and the other for the dry ingredients to avoid sticky fingers! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.
• 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 green beans, then return to the bowl and season to taste.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • Cook crumbed chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the crumbed chicken doesn't stick to the pan! TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Slice chicken. • Divide jasmine rice, crumbed chicken, green beans and veggie sticks between plates. Serve with Japanese mayo. Enjoy!
