Method

1. Rinse the rice, add 150 ml water, cook covered for 15 minutes, and let stand off the heat for 5 minutes.

2. Thinly shred the cabbage and season lightly with salt to soften it.

3. Butterfly the chicken¹ fillet, pound to about 1.5 cm thick, and season with salt and pepper.

4. Dredge the chicken¹ in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

5. Heat the oil and fry the chicken¹ over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown.

6. Check for doneness: the juices should run clear and the meat should be white³ inside.

7. Mix the ketchup, soy sauce, and honey, then serve the chicken¹ with the rice, cabbage, and sauce.
