Ingredients

  • 140g Chicken Thigh
  • 120g brown rice
  • 80g pak choi
  • 80g red pepper
  • 25g hoisin sauce
  • 15g spring onions
  • 3g garlic
  • pinch of Chinese five-spice
  • 40g cucumber

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the pak choi and peppers, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Season with five-spice, then toss in hoisin and garlic over high heat for the last minute until sticky.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the pak choi and peppers for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: brown rice first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the cucumber.
