TIPS FOR THAI PEANUT CHICKEN BOWL

  • Fluff The Rice: Let jasmine rice rest for a few minutes before fluffing to achieve the perfect texture.
  • Juicier Chicken: Marinate the chicken in a bit of lime juice, soy sauce, and garlic for extra flavour before grilling.
  • Crispier Cabbage: Keep cabbage in ice water for 10 minutes before using it to maintain crunchiness.
  • Peanut Sauce Consistency: Thin out peanut sauce with warm water if it’s too thick.
  • Balanced Flavour: Add a splash of soy sauce or honey to the peanut sauce for a more balanced taste.

VARIATIONS

  • Low-Carb Option: Replace jasmine rice with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb version.
  • Vegetarian Alternative: Swap chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh for a plant-based option.
  • Extra Veggies: Add bell peppers, shredded carrots, or edamame for more texture and nutrients.
  • Spicy Twist: Mix sriracha into the peanut sauce for an extra kick.
  • Nut-Free Version: Replace peanut sauce with a sesame or tahini dressing.
  • Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle chopped peanuts or cashews for an extra crunch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep peanut sauce separate to maintain freshness.
  • Freezing: Freeze cooked jasmine rice and grilled chicken separately for up to 1 month. Avoid freezing cabbage as it may lose its crispness.
  • Reheating: Warm rice and chicken in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Add peanut sauce after reheating for the best flavour.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Prepare multiple servings in advance and store them in portioned containers for quick meals throughout the week.
