• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic and ginger paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and a generous pinch of salt to the pan and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

• While the rice is cooking, thinly slice carrot into rounds. Roughly chop Asian greens. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Japanese dressing.
Little cooks: Take charge by combining the sauces!

• Place chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper. Pound chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm. • Combine the plain flour, salt (for the crumb) and Southeast Asian spice blend in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the black sesame seeds and panko breadcrumbs. • Dip chicken into the flour mixture, followed by the egg, and finally in the sesame breadcrumb mixture. Place on a plate, set aside.

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add Asian greens and cook until just tender, 1-2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, stir then transfer to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm.

• Return the frying pan to a high heat and add enough olive oil to cover the base. • Fry crumbed chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

• Slice chicken schnitzels. • Divide the garlicky & ginger rice between bowls and top with the veggies and the sesame-crusted chicken. • Drizzle with Japanese mayo to serve. Enjoy!
