Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep salad
2
  • Trim ends of cucumbers. 
  • Using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet, gently smash cucumbers until flattened and beginning to burst.
  • Cut cucumbers into 1-inch pieces.
  • Transfer cucumbers to a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt, then mix to combine. 
  • Set aside to allow for salt to draw out excess moisture in cucumbers.
Prep curry and toast cashews
3
  • Meanwhile, trim, then halve sugar snap peas.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Combine cornstarch, oyster sauce, stock powder, curry paste, half the soy sauce and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) cold water in a medium bowl. Season with pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. 
  • When hot, add cashews to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Remove from heat.
  • Transfer cashews to a plate.
Start curry
4
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high. 
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken and half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until chicken is golden, 3-4 min. 
  • Add curry mixture (from step 3) to the pan. Bring sauce to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens and chicken is cooked through, 6-8 min.**
  • Add sugar snap peas. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 1-3 min.
Make cucumber salad
5
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse cucumbers under cold water. Shake as much water off as possible.
  • Add half the vinegar (use all for 4 ppl), half the sesame oil, remaining garlic, remaining soy sauce and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to the large bowl (from step 2). Season with pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • Add cucumbers to the bowl, then toss to coat. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in remaining sesame oil. Divide between bowls.

    Spoon chicken curry over rice. Sprinkle cashews over top.

    Serve smashed cucumber salad alongside.
