Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1
  • Add the water (for the rice) to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. 
  • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. 

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

Get prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, halve Asian vegetable.
  • Finely chop garlic.
  • Thinly slice spring onion, including the white ends of the stem.
  • Cut soft tofu into 2cm chunks.
Cook the chicken
3
  • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. 
  • When oil is hot, cook chicken breast strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. 
    TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
Make the stew
4
  • Add sweet soy seasoning, garlic, white ends of spring onion and plant-based kimchi until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add gochujang, the water (for the soup), fish sauce & rice vinegar mix, the soy sauce and sugar. Bring to the boil.
  • Add soft tofu and reduce to a simmer until stew has slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes. Season to taste and drizzle with some sesame oil.
Steam the greens
5
  • While stew is simmering, add Asian vegetable and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel.
  • Microwave Asian vegetable on high until just tender, 2-3 minutes.
Finish & serve
6
  • Divide rice and Asian vegetable between bowls.
  • Serve with chicken and soft tofu kimchi stew. Garnish with remaining spring onion. Enjoy!
