Cooking Steps

1
  • To a medium saucepan, add coconut milk, the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
  • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 15 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

2
  • Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot into ribbons. 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
  • Add carrot to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover carrot. Set aside.
3
  • Boil the kettle. Half-fill medium saucepan with boiling water.
  • Add the eggs and cook until soft-boiled or to your liking, 7-8 minutes.
  • Using tongs, remove eggs from saucepan and cool in cold water
  • Carefully peel eggs, then halve.
4
  • Meanwhile, slice tomato and cucumber into thin rounds.
  • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine satay seasoning and one-step coater.
  • Dip chicken into crumb mixture to coat, pressing the crumbs on so they stick. Set aside on a plate.

TIP: Don’t dry your chicken, the moisture will help the crumb stick.

5
  • In a large frying pan over high heat, heat enough olive oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside..

6
  • Drain pickled carrot.
  • Bring everything to the table.
  • Build your own plate with coconut rice, popcorn chicken, tomato, cucumber, pickled carrot, crispy shallots, crushed peanuts, kecap manis and eggs.
  • If you've selected an add on bundle, serve with stir-fried Asian greens with oyster sauce. If you've added an add on modularity, serve with steamed bao buns. Enjoy!
