Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 24 oz skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • peanut or canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • hot steamed jasmine rice, to serve
  • 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
SPICY CUCUMBER SALAD
  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon peanut or canola oil
  • 2 to 3 small red chilies, sliced
  • 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sliced pickled ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to ‘keep warm’ (170°F/76°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet.
  • Combine flour, salt and pepper together in a shallow dish. Toss chicken in flour mixture in batches until well coated. Lightly cover the bottom of a large frying pan with oil and heat on medium-high. Cook chicken in batches until golden and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes each side. Transfer to a wire rack and keep warm in the oven between batches. Wipe the pan clean.
  • Combine teriyaki sauce, chili sauce, vinegar and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Add the sauce mixture to the same pan. Bring to a simmer, simmer uncovered, for a minute or two to thicken the sauce a little. Return all the chicken to the same pan and toss until all the chicken is coated and glazed.

To make the cucumber salad:

  • Whisk teriyaki sauce, sugar, vinegar, oil and chili together in a medium bowl.
  • Add cucumber, onion and ginger; toss to combine.
  • To serve, spoon the chicken over the rice, top with the cucumber salad and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
