½ tbsp soy sauce
1½ tbsp cornflour
¾ C jasmine rice
¼ C cornflour
2 tbsp plain flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ C water fridge cold (see Chef’s tip)
200 g coleslaw mix (see Chef’s tip)
¾ C The Good Oil Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil 1L
1½ spring onions finely sliced
Honey sauce
¼ C runny honey

1½ cm fresh ginger grated
½ tbsp cornflour

Method
- Cut the chicken into small bite sized pieces. Drizzle with the soy and dust with cornflour.
- Rinse the rice and cook according to packet instructions.
- To make the sauce gently combine the honey, soy, garlic and ginger in a pot over a gentle heat, stir to combine and allow to boil. Mix the cornflour to a paste with the water and add to the sauce, stir until the sauce thickens.
- Tip the slaw into a salad bowl and dress with the package dressing.
- Combine the cornflour, plain flour and baking soda in a bowl. Pour in the cold water and gently mix to combine.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium-high heat. Once hot, dip the chicken into the batter and then cook in batches until it is golden, crisp and cooked through. Transfer to a shallow bowl.
- Pour the honey sauce over the cooked chicken and turn to coat.
- Serve the honey chicken with rice and slaw, sprinkle with spring onions.
Chef’s Tip: Add ice cubes to tap water to ensure it is cold as the colder the better.
We have suggested using a packaged slaw mix for ease and ingredient efficiency. If you want to make your own slaw we suggest using 1/4 cabbage, shredded, 1/2 red onion, diced, 1 grated carrot, chopped parsley and a creamy slaw dressing or mayonnaise.
