Utensils

•Pot with Lid

Cooking Steps

Make the Rice
1
  • Place a pot over medium-high heat.
  • Stir in the rice and 300ml cold water (double for 4p). Bring to the boil. 
  • Once boiling, lower heat to medium, cover with the lid and cook for 12 mins.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and keep covered for another 12 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam). 
  • Once ready, add ¼ tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar (double both for 4p) and half the apple cider vinegar. Mix well to combine.
Get Prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the mushrooms
  • Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
  • Deseed the chilli and finely chop.
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry the mushrooms with the white of the scallion for 5-6 mins. Stir in the ketjap manis. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm (give the pan a wipe, you'll be using it later).
Pickle the Cucumber
3
  • Meanwhile, trim and halve the cucumber lengthways. Scoop out the seeds. Chop widthways into small pieces. 
  • In a bowl, mix the remaining apple cider vinegar, ¼ tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar (double both for 4p).
  • Add the cucumber and set aside to marinate. Toss occasionally.
  • Mix the aioli with the sweet chilli sauce.
Crumb the Chicken
4
  • In a bowl, carefully beat one egg (double for 4p). Season with salt and pepper.
  • To another bowl, add breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the chicken first in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don't worry! This is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh!

Fry the Chicken
5
  • Return the pan to high heat with enough oil to completely coat the bottom. 
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crumbed chicken to the pan.
  • Fry until golden, 5-8 mins. Turn every 2-3 mins and adjust the heat if needed. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

TIP: You want the oil to be hot so the chicken fries properly. Heat for 2-3 mins before adding the chicken.

Garnish and Serve
6
  • Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
  • Serve the cucumber, fried mushrooms and crispy chicken on top.
  • Drizzle over the sweet chilli aioli.
  • Garnish with a scattering of green scallion and as much chopped chilli as you like (use less if cooking for kids or if you don't like spice).
