Cooking Steps

1
  • To a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil.
  • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. 

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

2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Thinly slice long chilli (if using).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
  • Add cucumber and chill to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside.

TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!

3
  • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Slice brown onion into thin wedges. Slice lime into wedges.
  • In a medium bowl, combine diced chicken, sweet soy seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.
4
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook carrot and onion until just browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and chicken is just through, 5-6 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink in the middle

5
  • Add rendang paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add coconut milk, cooked veggies and a splash of water, simmering until curry is browned and thickened, 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir through a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste.
6
  • Drain spicy pickles.
  • Divide rice and chicken rendang between bowls.
  • Serve with spicy pickled cucumbers. Enjoy!
