Cooking Steps

1
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and a dash of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Cook hainanese paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add jasmine rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil.
  • 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!

2
  • Meanwhile, trim baby broccoli, halving any thicker stalks lengthways.
  • Thinly slice cucumber into rounds.
  • Thinly slice spring onion (reserving the white ends) and long chilli (if using).
  • Cut tofu into 2cm chunks.
3
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook tofu, tossing until browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to 
    a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add white ends of spring onion and a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. 
  • Add chicken breast then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10-14 minutes.

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

4
  • While chicken is poaching, add baby broccoli and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel.
  • Microwave baby broccoli on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes.
  • Drain broccoli, then return to the bowl and cover to keep warm.
5
  • In a small heatproof bowl, microwave ginger lemongrass paste and a generous drizzle of olive oil, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add remaining spring onion, season and stir to combine.
  • In a second small bowl, combine soy sauce mix and a pinch of sugar.
  • In a third small bowl, transfer over sriracha.

TIP: Cover the bowl with a lid or cling wrap as the paste might spatter!

6
  • Using tongs, remove the chicken from the saucepan. Transfer to a chopping board and thinly slice.
  • Divide fragrant rice, baby broccoli and fresh cucumber between bowls. Top with Hainanese chicken, tofu, then garnish with long chilli.
  • Serve with traditional three sauces. Enjoy!
