Chicken & Green Bean Stir Fry With Sticky Rice

A fusion Asian dish with Malaysian, Thai and Chinese influence!

Traditionally, sticky rice is soaked for around 8 hours and steamed in a bamboo steamer. Our version is cooked in a different way for those running short of time. Long beans can also be pan fried rather than fried with oil.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2)

• 300 grams mince chicken or mince pork
• 300 grams long bean (can substitute with green beans)
• 4 cups Sunflower or cooking oil
• 2 whole bulb of garlic sliced and fried with oil
• 10 baby shallots (can substitute with 1 onion)
• Soy sauce
• Oyster sauce
• White pepper
• Chinese cooking wine
• Malaysian Chilli Sambal

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 
   In a small bowl toss the mince chicken with 2 TB of soy sauce, 1 TB of Chinese cooking wine and the ground white pepper. Marinate in the fridge for a few hours
2. Wash and cut the beans to 5cm long
3. Cook the rice from the below steps
4. Mix 2 TB of oyster sauce, 1 ½ TB of soy and a splash of Chinese cooking wine and set aside in a separate bowl (measurements can be adjusted to your liking)
5. Remove the garlic skin and thinly slice the garlic into garlic chips
6. Heat up 4 cups of cooking oil in a medium sized pot
7. Fry off all garlic chips until it turns a slight golden brown, remove from the oil and drain on some kitchen paper towel to prevent it from cooking further
8. Fry long beans in batches for around 3 to 5 minutes, until you see air pockets forming on the skin of the beans, remove the beans with a slotted spoon and soak off the excess oil with kitchen paper towel. Set the beans aside
9. In a wok or fry pan, heat some oil. Cook the sliced shallots, chicken and stir fry about 3 minutes or when it turns brown. Add the fried green beans back to the pan with the sauce mixture from point 3. Add 2 TB of our Malaysian Chilli Sambal and fried garlic chips stir until it is evenly mixed in
10. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking
