Cooking Steps

Boil
1

Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and cook the rice for 12 - 15 minutes, then drain and set aside. Halve the courgette lengthways and score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern, taking care not to pierce through the skin. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the courgette face-down for 5 - 8 minutes, covered.

Make the sauce
2

In a small bowl, combine the miso paste* with the honey, the ginger paste and half of the soy sauce (see Tip).

*Take care, this ingredient is salty! Use as preferred.

Health Tip: if you're watching your salt intake, use just a quarter of the soy sauce and then add more later as preferred when serving.

Fry the plant-based chicken
3

Turn over the courgette and top with the miso sauce. Turn again and reduce the heat, then fry face-down for 1 minute. Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is nice and hot, fry the plant-based chicken for 7 - 8 minutes. Stir in some sambal as preferred, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Make the salsa
4

Finely chop the scallions. Deseed and finely chop the red chilli pepper.* In a small bowl, combine the chilli pepper with the sesame oil, the scallions and half of the white wine vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Make the salad
5

In a salad bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the rest of the soy sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the cucumber and transfer to the salad bowl. Add the edamame, then toss well to combine. To the rice, add the sugar, a pinch of salt and the rest of the white wine vinegar. Mix well to combine.

Serve
6

Serve the rice on deep plates. Top with the miso courgette and the plant-based chicken. Serve the edamame-cucumber salad alongside. Garnish with the scallion salsa and the cashews.
