Instructions

Instructions

1

In a large bowl, mix the cut chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or ideally for 30 minutes in the refrigerator to intensify the flavors.

2

Em uma tigela pequena, combine a manteiga de amendoim, o suco de limão, 1 colher de sopa de molho de soja restante, mel e pimenta em flocos (se usar). Adicione 2-3 colheres de sopa de água morna e misture bem até obter um molho cremoso e homogêneo. Reserve.

3

Lave o arroz jasmine até a água sair clara. Em uma panela média, combine o arroz, leite de coco, água e sal. Leve para ferver em fogo alto, então reduza o fogo para o mínimo, tampe e cozinhe por 15-18 minutos, ou até que todo o líquido seja absorvido. Deixe descansar tampado por 5 minutos e depois solte com um garfo.

4

In a large bowl, combine the red cabbage, white cabbage, carrot, red onion, and cilantro. In another small bowl, prepare the slaw dressing by mixing the lemon juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, honey, and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and mix well. Set aside.

5

Aqueça o óleo vegetal em uma frigideira grande ou grelha em fogo médio-alto. Adicione o frango marinado e cozinhe por 5-7 minutos, virando ocasionalmente, até que esteja dourado e cozido por completo. Não amontoe o frango; cozinhe em levas se necessário.

6

Turn off the heat and add the reserved peanut sauce to the chicken in the skillet. Mix well to cover all pieces. Serve immediately over coconut rice, accompanied by ginger slaw. Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro.

Chef Tips

- Cut the boneless chicken thighs into standard 3 cm pieces for quick, even cooking over medium-high heat. - Incorporate the thick peanut butter sauce with the skillet already off direct heat so that the residual heat envelops the chicken. - Let the coconut rice rest covered for 10 minutes after the heat is turned off before fluffing the grains with a fork.

Variations

- Sprinkle red pepper flakes and coarsely chopped toasted peanuts on assembly for extra crunchy texture. - Add strips of firm ripe mango to the cabbage slaw for a fruity sweet note that harmonizes with the coconut. - Finish the bowls with a generous drizzle of spicy sesame oil (la-yu) for lovers of spicier flavors.

Substitutions

- The chicken thigh fillets can be replaced by chicken breast cut into cubes, pork loin strips, or pressed firm tofu. - Whole peanut butter can be replaced with sesame paste (tahini) diluted with a drizzle of honey. - The rice vinegar of the slaw can be replaced by fresh lime juice or mild apple cider vinegar.

How to Store

Store the chicken in sauce, coconut rice, and slaw in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble on the plate at the time of eating.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the chicken with peanut sauce and the coconut rice in individual containers for up to 2 months. Cabbage slaw should not be frozen.

What to Serve With

Serve with very cold Asian lager beer, fresh coconut water with mint, or rice paper spring rolls.
