Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice and the water. Stir and bring to the boil. • Reduce 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 absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Chop broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. • Thinly slice carrot into rounds. • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce mix and sweet chilli sauce.
• Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and carrot, with a good splash of water and cook until tender, 5-7 minutes. • Add gingerlemongrass paste and cook, tossing, until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• SPICY! If you're sensitive to spice, feel free to use less peppercorns. While the veggies are cooking, lightly crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) in a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin. • In a medium bowl, combine crushed peppercorns, a pinch of salt, Southeast Asian spice blend and cornflour. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. Add chicken to the spiced cornflour and toss to coat.
• Return frying pan to high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, pick up chicken using tongs and shake any excess flour back into the bowl. • Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Return veggies to pan, add soy sauce mixture and cook until bubbling, 1 minute.
TIP: Add a drizzle more oil if needed. Cook in batches for the best results!
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with lemongrass veggies and Asian salt and pepper chicken. • Sprinkle over crispy shallots. Serve with garlic aioli. Enjoy!
