COOK RICE
- In a large pot over high heat add rice and the first measure of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium or medium-low and cover. Simmer for 12 mins or until water is absorbed. When the rice has 2 min cook time remaining add the peas, stir to combine. Fluff rice with a fork.

MARINATE CHICKEN
- Peel and finely grate the ginger. Peel and mince the garlic. Combine the ginger, garlic, soy sauce and first measure of oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken thighs into strips, add to the marinade, and turn to coat.
COOK CHICKEN
- Heat the second measure of oil in a medium frypan over medium-high heat. Add the cornflour and baking powder to the chicken mixture and stir to coat. Cook the chicken for 2-3 mins on each side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel. While the chicken is cooking, combine the sweet chilli sauce and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Pick the coriander leaves, discarding the stems.
TO SERVE
