Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water and a pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
In a small bowl, combine the miso paste (see ingredients), rice wine vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water. Set aside.
Trim the green beans and cut into thirds. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Finely grate the ginger.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toast the sesame seeds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the green beans and carrot with a splash of water, tossing occasionally, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add the ginger and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and toss to coat. Transfer to a medium bowl.
While the veggies are cooking, cut the chicken breast into 2cm chunks. Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Add the miso glaze and cook, stirring, until well coated and thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes.
Stir the toasted sesame seeds through the garlic rice. Divide the sesame-garlic rice between bowls. Top with the ginger veggies and miso-glazed chicken. Spoon over any remaining glaze. Top with the mayonnaise and garnish with the crispy shallots.
