Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, 2 large bowls, a sieve & a grater

Get the rice on & marinate the chicken

  • Add the rice to the saucepan, boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • Dice the chicken into 3cm pieces, then place into a large bowl and mix with half the ginger & garlic paste, half the miso, half the vinegar and half the tamari. Set aside

Make the slaw

  • Trim and finely slice the cabbage. Coarsely grate the carrots. Thinly slice the spring onions
  • To the other large bowl, add the remaining vinegar and miso. Mix, then stir in the carrot and cabbage

Roast the chicken

  • Add the cornflour to the chicken and toss to coat
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 3 mins, until golden
  • Add to the lined baking tray and roast for 15 mins, until cooked through

Make the egg fried rice

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the remaining ginger & garlic paste and half the spring onion
  • Cook for 1 min, then add the cooked rice and remaining tamari. Cook for 1-2 mins
  • Push the rice to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the other side and break them up with a wooden spoon
  • Leave to cook for 1-2 mins, until firm, then mix into the rice. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Serve the chicken into bowls, with the egg fried rice and cabbage slaw alongside. Drizzle over the chilli paste (for those who'd like the heat). Scatter over the remaining spring onion
