Ingredients

  • 500g medium grain brown rice

Kaarage chicken

  • 400g skinless chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated or minced or 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 10g (2cm chunk) ginger, grated or 1 teaspoon crushed ginger
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 6 tablespoons cornflour

Zesty slaw

  • 2 large carrots, cut into matchsticks or thinly sliced
  • 1 large apple, cut into batons
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced

Method

  1. Cook rice according to packet instructions. Set aside at least 2 cups of the cooked rice and place in a container in the fridge to use in the chickpea and lentil pilaf meal.
  2. Place chicken, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a bowl, mix to coat. Cover and leave to marinade for 5-10 minutes.
  3. As the chicken marinates, prepare the salad by tossing the salad ingredients in a bowl.
  4. Add enough oil to a frying pan to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, heat on medium high heat on the stove.
  5. Place cornflour on a plate and coat the sliced chicken, dust off any excess flour and fry. Cook for 3-6 minutes, turning halfway, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  6. To serve, place a portion of rice in a bowl, top with salad, karaage chicken and Japanese mayo or your favourite sauces.
