Method

To make the Trukai Jasmine Rice

  1. Wash the rice and drain.
  2. Place rice in a small pot. Add water and salt. Cover with a lid and bring to boil. Once the rice comes up to boil turn down to low simmer and cook for approximately 17min. Larger portions will take longer to cook.
  3. Once cooked and water is absorbed, remove from heat and keep covered with lid for 5 min. This will steam the rice and dry out.  Take fork and run through the rice to fluff the rice.

To make the Lemon Honey Chicken

  1. Take the chicken and dice into small cubes. Marinate the chicken in the honey, soy sauce and cracker pepper. Add lemon zest. Mix properly and let it rest in the fridge approx 20 min. (You can marinate in the fridge overnight, this will allow for a more intense flavor)
