step 1
To make the chicken marinade, add the onion (1/2), garlic paste (1 tsp), lemongrass (2 stalks), soy sauce (3 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp), turmeric (1 tbsp), brown sugar (10 g) and cumin (1 tsp) to a blender. Blitz until smooth.
step 2
Halve the chicken breasts (1 pack) lengthways and slice each breast fillet into 6 strips. Add to a large mixing bowl and coat with the marinade. Pop into the fridge and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, soak 12 skewers in water.
step 3
To make the peanut sauce, add the peanut butter (3 tbsp), soy sauce (1 tbsp), dark brown sugar (2 tsp), tamarind paste (1 tbsp) and lime juice (1/2) to a bowl. Mix until smooth, adding water as you go until you have a pourable sauce.
step 4
To make the salad, bring a large saucepan filled with water to a boil. Once boiling, drop in the green beans (50 g) and cook for 4 minutes, then drain.
step 5
Reheat the saucepan with a splash of oil over a medium heat and add the sliced garlic (2 cloves). Cook until golden brown.
step 6
To a mixing bowl, add the nuoc cham (4 tbsp), peanuts (1 tbsp), and sesame oil (1 tbsp). Add in the cooled green beans, beansprouts (100 g), mint (15 g) and chilli (1). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Finish with the garlic chips.
step 7
Heat your grill to high. Thread the chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, placing on a foil-lined baking tray as you go. Grill for 5 minutes on each side, until the chicken is charred and cooked through.
step 8
Meanwhile, cook the rice (1 pack) according to the packaging instructions (either in the oven or microwave).
step 9
Serve the chicken skewers alongside the fried rice and peanut sauce and top with the green beans with the crispy onions (2 tbsp).
