Cooking Steps

Start the chicken
1

• Slice onion (see ingredients) into wedges. Finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine sweet soy seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken drumsticks and toss to combine. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken drumsticks, until browned on all sides, 3-4 minutes (the chicken will finish cooking in the slow cooker!). • Add ginger & lemongrass paste and half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Finish the chicken
2

• Transfer chicken drumsticks to the slow cooker. Add onion, oyster sauce, the water and a pinch of salt to the slow cooker and set cooking temperature to high. • Place lid on the slow cooker and cook until chicken is tender and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 4-5 hours.

TIP: No slow cooker? Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Transfer mixture to an ovenproof saucepan, cover with a lid (or tightly with foil) and cook until chicken is tender and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 25 minutes.

Cook the rice
3

• When the chicken has 15 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Trim green beans. • Thinly slice fresh chilli (if using).

Prep the veggies
4

• Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add jasmine rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12-14 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Cook the veggies
5

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook green beans and carrot, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add remaining garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.

Serve up
6

• Divide jasmine rice between bowls. • Top with ginger & lemongrass chicken drumsticks and garlic veggies. • Garnish with chilli to serve. Enjoy!
