Ingredients

2 servings 4 servings
  • olive oil
  • 20 gr butter
  • 1 packet basmati rice
  • 1.5 cup water
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 packet chicken breast
  • 1 bag broccoli & carrot mix
  • 1 packet ginger paste
  • 1 sachet cornflour
  • 1 packet oyster sauce
  • 1 brown sugar
  • 0.5 long chilli (optional)

Instructions

  1. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
    • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
    TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
  2. • Meanwhile, slice zucchini into half-moons. Thinly slice long chilli (if using).
    • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
    • In a medium bowl, combine chicken and cornflour.
    • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and broccoli & carrot mix, tossing until tender, 6-8 minutes. Season and transfer to a bowl.
    TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.
  3. • Return frying pan to high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil.
    • When oil is hot, shake off excess cornflour and cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes.
    • Reduce heat to medium, add ginger paste, cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
    • To pan with chicken, return veggies and add oyster sauce, the brown sugar and a splash of water, tossing to combine, 1 minute. Season to taste.
  4. • Divide rice and oyster sauce chicken and veggie stir-fry between bowls.
    • Top with chilli to serve. Enjoy!
