Add a crunchy twist to these fan-favourite bowls.
Ingredients:
- 8 pieces crumbed chicken strips
- 1 cup (250ml) basmati rice
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 pineapple, sliced
- 200g Broccolini, blanched
- 3 Radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) flaked coconut, toasted
- 1 Orange juiced
- 1 Lemon, juiced
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) olive oil
- 1 tsp (5ml) turmeric
Method:
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk and 300ml water. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare your toppings. Slice the pineapple into rings or bite-sized pieces. Blanch the broccolini by steaming or boiling it for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant. Slice the radishes thinly, and toast the flaked coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.
- Divide the coconut rice between 4-6 bowls. Arrange the sliced pineapple, blanched broccolini, radishes, chicken strips and toasted coconut on top of the rice. Garnish with finely sliced spring onions and orange and turmeric dressing.
- To make the dressing, mix all ingredients well drizzle over poke bowls.
