INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
600 g chicken thigh fillets (skinless) chopped into quarters
1½ C jasmine rice
2 tbsp olive oil
4 spring onions chopped (white and green parts separated)
4 cm fresh ginger grated
3 cloves of garlic crushed
2 tbsp Thai red curry paste
⅓ C Forty Thieves Almond Butter
1 × 400ml can of coconut milk
1 tsp black sesame seeds
1 lime cut into wedges
Bok Choy Salad:
1 bok choy bunch finely chopped
1 celery stalk finely sliced
1 small red onion finely sliced
½ red capsicum thinly sliced
METHOD:
In a small bowl, combine cumin, coriander and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a spice mix. In a shallow dish, place the chicken and sprinkle over the spice mixture.
Rinse the rice well and cook according to packet instructions. Refrigerate until needed.
In a medium pot, heat half of the oil over medium heat. Add the white parts of the chopped spring onions, ginger, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Add the red curry paste to the pot and cook for another 1-2 minutes then stir in the Almond Butter until well combined.
Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper. You may like to add a splash of soy sauce instead of salt.
While the sauce is simmering, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the other half of the oil and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are well coloured and cooked through.
At the same time toss the bok choy, celery, red onion, capsicum and green spring onion together in a bowl.
Distribute the rice between bowls and pile salad alongside. Top with chicken, pour over the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with a lime wedge.
