Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a sieve, a measuring jug, a large frying pan & a medium frying pan
Get the rice on
- Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
Sizzle the chicken
- Finely slice the onion. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Cut 3 spring onions into 3cm pieces
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and onion and cook for 4 mins, until golden and softened. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 min
Simmer simmer
- Stir in the bay leaves, half the chilli flakes (or to taste), the tamari, vinegar, spring onion and 300ml water
- Bring to the boil, then simmer for 13 mins, until the liquid reduces by one-third and the chicken is cooked through
Cook the greens
- Meanwhile, trim the green beans and broccoli
- Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the green beans and broccoli and cook for 2-3 mins
- Add the honey and remaining chilli flakes (or to taste), cook for 1 min, then add a splash of water
- Steam for 1-2 mins, until soft. Season with salt, then remove from the heat
Plate up
- Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
- Thinly slice the remaining spring onion
- Serve the chicken into bowls, with the rice, green beans and broccoli alongside. Garnish with the remaining spring onion
