Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place sweet potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with pepper and toss with mixed sesame seeds to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken thigh, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 10-14 minutes. • In the final minute of cook time, add garlic and the soy sauce, turning to coat.
• Trim and thinly slice pea pods lengthways. In a large bowl, combine pea pods, shredded cabbage mix and Japanese style dressing. Season to taste. • Slice chicken. Divide rice between bowls. Top with chicken, sweet potato and slaw. • Drizzle with sesame dressing (see ingredients) and top with pickled ginger to serve. Enjoy!
