Sesame Honey Soy Chicken With Greens & Coconut Rice
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornflour
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 bunches bok choy
- 1 bunch broccolini
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil or vegetable oil
- spring onion sliced, to serve
- sesame seeds to serve
Marinade
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup chinese cooking wine
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 4 cm ginger piece finely chopped
Coconut Rice
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 400 ml canned coconut milk
- 1 1/4 cups water
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- For the marinade: Mix all the ingredients together. Pour half the marinade into a small saucepan. Use the remaining half to marinate the chicken for a minimum of 10 minutes.
- For the coconut rice: Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to very low, cover with the lid and simmer for 12–15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Add the cornflour and water to the marinade in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Steam the greens in a microwave or steamer for 2–3 minutes. Set aside.
- Place a large frying pan over high heat. Add the oil and let it heat. Then add the chicken and cook for about 5–6 minutes each side or until cooked through.
- Serve the coconut rice into bowls. Add the honey soy chicken and steamed greens. Drizzle over the sauce and top with spring onion and sesame seeds.
Notes
If the chicken starts to burn in the pan, turn the heat down for the middle period of cooking. You can also add a tablespoon of water at a time to stop it from burning.
