Cooking Steps

1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add 2/3 of the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water and salt and bring to the boil. Reduce the 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!

2

While the rice is cooking, finely grate the ginger. Thinly slice the capsicum. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Roughly chop the coriander. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). Cut the chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.

3

In a medium bowl, combine the ginger, the remaining garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper and olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people). Add the chicken and toss to coat.

4

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.

5

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the capsicum and cook until just tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cooked chicken. Remove from the heat and add the Sichuan garlic paste and soy sauce. Toss to combine.

6

Divide the garlic rice between bowls and top with the Chinese Sichuan chicken and Asian greens. Sprinkle with the coriander and chilli (if using).
