Cooking Steps

Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the rice and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
Crush or mince the garlic and thinly slice the carrot.
Cut the head of the broccoli into florets and then dice the stem.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the garlic with the carrot for 1 minute.

Did you know... garlic contains bioactive substances called dithiolthiones; these are a type of antioxidant which have a positive effect on cholesterol levels.

Boil the rice for 10 - 12 minutes, then drain and set aside.
To the carrots, add the broccoli and the water (see pantry for amount).
Cover with the lid and allow to stew for 8 - 10 minutes or until done.

Cut the scallions into 2cm chunks.
Thread the chicken and the scallions onto the skewers (see Tip).
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the skewers for 3 - 4 minutes per side, or until golden-brown.
During the final minute, add the East Asian-style sauce and the sesame seeds. Allow the sauce to caramelise.

Tip: if you're short on time, you can skip making the skewers and just fry the chicken and scallions directly in the pan.
