Lemongrass chicken with smashed cucumber salad

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 45 minutes, plus 2 hours' chilling time

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the chicken:

4 free-range chicken breasts
1⁄2 cup soya sauce
1 x 3 cm piece ginger, smashed
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 stalk lemongrass, smashed
2 t sesame oil
2 T basmati rice
1⁄4 cup sunflower oil
2 Mediterranean cucumbers, smashed
2 T fresh coconut, finely grated, to garnish
Fresh mint, to garnish

For the jaew dressing, mix:

6 limes, juiced
2 t brown or coconut sugar
1 t dried chilli flakes
1 t shrimp paste
3 T fish sauce
2 T soya sauce

Method

Butterfly the chicken breasts using a sharp knife, taking care not to cut all the way through. Pound the chicken between sheets of clingwrap to a thickness of 3 cm.

In a large bowl, mix the soya sauce, ginger, garlic, lemongrass and sesame oil. Add the chicken and chill for 2 hours.

While the chicken is marinating, fry the basmati rice in a little oil until golden and slightly puffed, then drain on kitchen paper. Grind the rice in a pestle and mortar, then set aside. 4 Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium to high heat, then cook the chicken breasts for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

Arrange the cucumber on a platter, then top with the dressing, coconut and toasted rice powder.

Garnish with fresh mint. Serve with the chicken.

Cook's note: Basmati rice toasted in a hot pan, then ground into a powder to sprinkle over the chicken adds a beautiful nutty flavour to this dish.
