Cooking Steps
• 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 water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, cut any larger broccoli florets in half. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and the honey.
Little cooks: Kids can help combine the sauces.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook broccoli and carrot until tender, 6-7 minutes. • Add honey-soy mixture and cook, until veggies are well coated, 1-2 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.
• SPICY! Peppercorns can be spicy, use less if you're sensitive to heat! While the veggies are cooking, crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a mortar and pestle or in their sachet using a rolling pin. • Cut boneless chicken drumsticks into 1cm strips. • In a medium bowl, combine the salt, crushed peppercorns, Southeast Asian spice blend and the plain flour. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to mediumhigh heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, pick up chicken using tongs and shake off any excess flour back into the bowl. • Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for the best results. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when It's no longer pink inside.
• Divide rice between bowls. Top with honey-soy veggies and salt and pepper chicken. • Sprinkle with chilli flakes (if using). Drizzle with sesame dressing. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch and drizzle over the dressing.
