Cooking Steps

Prep & bake the kale
1

• Set your air fryer to 200°C.
• Tear kale leaves from stems, discarding any larger 
pieces of stalk.
• In a large bowl, combine kale, a drizzle of olive oil, 
season with salt and toss to coat.
• Place kale in air fryer basket. Bake until heated 
through and crispy, 5-8 minutes. 


TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C 
fan-forced. Tear kale leaves from stems, discarding any 
larger pieces of stalk. Place kale on a lined oven tray. 
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. 
Spread out evenly, then roast until slightly charred,  
5-8 minutes.  

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice spring onion and long chilli 
(if using).
• Drain sweetcorn.
• In a small bowl, combine gochujang, the honey and 
a splash of water. Set aside. 
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. 

Cook the corn
3

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
• Cook corn kernels until lightly browned,  
4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to  
keep warm.


TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are ‘popping’  
out.  

Cook the chicken
4

• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to high heat 
with a drizzle of olive oil.
• When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, 
until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
• In the last minute, add honey-gochujang mixture 
to the pan, tossing, until chicken is well coated. 
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.


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

Microwave the rice
5

• While the chicken is cooking, microwave brown, red 
& wild rice (see ingredients) until steaming, 90 seconds. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide rapid wild rice between bowls. Top with 
gochujang chicken, sweetcorn, crispy kale and 
plant-based kimchi. Drizzle over sesame dressing. 
• Garnish with sesame seeds, spring onion and chilli 
to serve. Enjoy!
