Method
Rinse the rice, cover with 140 ml water, add salt, and cook for 12–15 minutes until tender.
Mix the peanut3 butter, soy sauce, lime5 juice, grated garlic6, grated ginger, chili flakes, and 20 ml warm water into a smooth sauce.
Slice the chicken1 into strips and toss with one third of the peanut3 sauce.
Heat the oil and fry the chicken1 for 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Slice the cucumber9, grate the carrot10, and finely shred the red11 cabbage.
Place the rice in a bowl as the base, then add the chicken1, cucumber9, carrot10, and cabbage in sections.
Drizzle with the remaining peanut3 sauce and sprinkle with chopped peanuts12.
Tips
- Why it works
- Fry the chicken over medium heat so a crust forms outside and it stays juicy inside. If the heat is high, it burns outside and stays raw inside.
- Substitutions
- Instead of peanut butter, use sweet peanuts ground to a powder (20 g) or 15 g sweet cashew paste. Replace the lime with lemon, but the sauce will be less bright.
- Common mistakes
- If the cabbage is still tough, slice it thinner or soak it in cold water for 10 minutes before adding to the bowl. It should become soft and slightly pliable.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon of water so the sauce doesn't dry out. Keep the sauce separately for 5 days.
- Serve with
- Serve with roasted ginger tea or green tea with lemon. Good for a family dinner when you need something quick and filling.
