Cooking Steps

1
1

• In a medium saucepan, bring the water to the boil. • Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat. • Keep covered until 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!

• While rice is cooking, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Trim green beans, then slice into thirds. Finely grate garlic. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook chicken, tossing, until browned, 5-6 minutes (cook in batches if pan is getting crowded). Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate. • Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add ginger lemongrass paste and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then stir through coconut milk, oyster sauce and sugar. Add green beans, shredded cabbage mix and chicken (plus any resting juices). Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer. Cook until veggies are tender, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste.

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