10-Minute Vietnamese Sticky Chicken: A crowd-pleaser for all ages.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm peanut oil
  • 6 chicken thigh fillets
  • 450g packet 2 1/2 minute jasmine rice
  • 45g tub Vietnamese lemongrass and kaffir lime paste
  • 62.50 ml kecap manis
  • 32.00 gm brown sugar
  • 12.20 gm fish sauce
  • 42.00 gm lime juice
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • 1 long red chilli
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 bunch baby choy sum, trimmed
  • Fresh coriander sprigs, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat half of the oil. Cut chicken in half and cook, turning occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes until evenly browned and almost cooked through.
  • While the rice cooks according to the packet directions, mix the Vietnamese paste, kecap manis, sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice in a jug and set it aside.
  • Finely chop the cucumber and thinly slice the chili and green onion. Combine them in a bowl and set aside.
  • Lower the heat to a gentle medium-low. Drizzle the flavorful sauce over the succulent chicken in the pan, ensuring every inch is covered. Let it gently simmer for 2 minutes to enhance the delicious flavors.
  • - Heat a wok over high heat and swirl in the remaining oil. - Cut stems from choy sum leaves and stir-fry them for 30 seconds in the wok. - Add the leaves and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until they just wilt. - Simmer the chicken in sauce for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Dish out rice, choy sum, chicken, and sauce into individual bowls. Garnish with cucumber mixture and fresh coriander sprigs. Serve and enjoy!
