step by step
Method
- Step 1
Marinate the chicken
- Season the chicken with the garlic, ginger, curry powder, thyme, salt and black pepper.
- Let it sit so the flavours penetrate the meat.
- Step 2
Fry the chicken
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through.
- Set the chicken aside and keep the oil used to fry it.
- Step 3
Marinate the vegetables
- Toss the carrot, green beans, sweet corn, green peas, onion and spring onion with a little seasoning.
- Leave them to absorb the flavours.
- Step 4
Parboil and toast the rice
- Rinse the rice well and parboil it in the chicken stock until almost tender, then drain.
- Heat the reserved chicken oil in a pan and lightly toast the rice, stirring, so the grains do not stick together.
- Step 5
Stir-fry the vegetables
- Add the marinated vegetables to the pan and stir-fry until just tender but still bright.
- Step 6
Combine and finish
- Return the fried chicken to the pan with the rice and vegetables.
- Stir everything together over the heat until well combined and hot.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve.
