As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Rice Cooker (optional)
Pot
Frying Pan
In a pot, combine the jasmine rice, a pinch of salt and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Keep covered until ready to serve. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.
Tip! Taste the rice, if it is still too firm, add a few more spoonsful of water.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Trim spring onion ends and cut the white part into 3 cm pieces. Thinly slice green ends, keeping the white and green parts separate. Trim the ends off the broccoli, then cut into bite size florets. Cut pak choy into quarters lengthways. Pat chicken tenderloins dry with paper towel, then dice into 11⁄2-2 cm pieces.
Tip! When swapping the chef selected protein in this recipe, adjust the cooking times and the method to ensure your protein is cooked properly and therefore safe to eat.
Heat oil in a large high-sided pan (or pot) over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add garlic and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken tenderloins and the sambal oelek (to taste), then cook for 4 minutes.
Tip! We have kept the sambal oelek separate so you can add as much or as little as you and your family like.
Add the broccoli, pak choy, oyster/soy sauce and white spring onion ends to the chicken. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle in cashews and cook for a further minute. Divide rice and cashew chicken between plates and garnish with green spring onion ends. Enjoy!
