  • 1 Small bowl
  • 1 Large pot or rice cooker

Ingredients

  • oil spray

Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil

Chicken

  • 1 red onion
  • 1.2 kg chicken nibbles (or drumsticks, but will take longer to cook)

Rice

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Greens

  • 1 broccoli
  • 1 cup edamame beans or frozen green beans

To serve

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds optional

Instructions

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 220 °C fan bake. Spray a baking dish with oil spray. Bring a steamer pot of hot tap water to a boil.

Make sauce

  • Peel and mince 4 cloves garlic. In a small bowl whisk together garlic, 1 tsp cornflour, 4 tbsp honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp sesame oil and a grind of black pepper.

Cook chicken

  • Peel and slice 1 red onion into wedges. Add 1.2 kg chicken nibbles and red onion to the prepared baking dish and pour over the sauce. Bake, turning regularly to coat in marinade, for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken nibbles are browned and cooked through.

Cook rice

  • In a large pot over high heat add 1 cup jasmine rice and 310ml or 1¼ cup of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium or medium-low and cover. Simmer for 12 minutes or until water is absorbed. When the rice has 4 minutes of cooking time remaining, stir in 1 cup frozen peas. Fluff rice and peas with a fork.

Cook greens

  • Slice 1 broccoli into florets. Add broccoli and 1 cup edamame beans to the steamer pot of boiling water and cook for 4 minutes, until tender or cooked to your liking.

To serve

  • Divide the pea rice, sticky honey soy chicken nibbles and steamed greens between plates. Drizzle over any remaining sauce and garnish with 1 tbsp sesame seeds.
