• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat with the butter (for the rice) and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook ginger paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt to the pan, then bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the ginger paste starts to spatter! TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, slice courgette into half-moons. • Place courgette on a lined oven tray. Add a generous drizzle of olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 15 minutes. • Remove courgette from oven, drizzle over the honey and gently toss to coat. Return to the oven and roast until tender, a further 7-10 minutes.
• While the courgette is roasting, slice cucumber into rounds. Thinly slice spring onion. • Place chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper. Pound chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm-thick. • In a shallow bowl, combine sweet soy seasoning and the plain flour. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and crushed peanuts. • Coat chicken first in the flour mixture, followed by the egg and finally the peanut-breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. Cook crumbed chicken in batches, until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the schnitzel does not stick to the pan. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Cook katsu paste, the water (for the sauce), brown sugar and the butter (for the sauce) ,stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Meanwhile, combine slaw mix, cucumber, garlic aioli and ponzu sauce in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice crumbed chicken. • Divide chicken between plates and top with katsu sauce. • Garnish courgette with spring onion. • Bring everything to the table to serve. • Help yourself to some ginger rice, katsu crumbed chicken, roasted courgette and creamy slaw. Enjoy!
