Instructions
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. Fluff rice with a fork.
MAKE BATTER
Dice chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together yoghurt, flour, cornflour, first measure of hot sauce (if using), egg and salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick. Add panko crumbs to a wide, shallow bowl.
BATTER & COOK CHICKEN
Working one at a time, dip chicken into the batter, then dip in the panko, pressing to coat. Heat oil in a large pot or frypan over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the pot and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2-3 mins. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
MAKE SALAD
Finely slice the lettuce. Julienne or finely slice the cucumber and carrot. Add the lettuce, cucumber, carrot and mung beans (if using) to a large bowl and toss to combine.
MAKE SWEET CHILLI MAYO
In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce and hot sauce (if using).
TO SERVE
Divide salad and jasmine rice between plates, top with the bang bang chicken, drizzle over the Japanese chilli mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
