Mariella's Tip

Lemongrass has a lovely fresh and fragrant flavour be sure to chop it up really finely and try not using any really tough layers.

Step 1 - Crispy Roast Chicken

Season your chicken leg quarters with salt and pepper. Place skin down on an oven tray and pop into the oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. You can place your chicken on a foil-lined oven tray to make cleaning afterward a breeze.

Step 2 - Ginger Jasmine Rice

Before cooking, use a colander to rinse your rice until the water runs clear. Place your rice and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cover with a lid. Once it comes to the boil, reduce the heat to low and cook until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is soft, about 12-15 minutes. If not done to your liking, add small amounts of water at a time and continue cooking till soft and sticky. Meanwhile, heat a large casserole pan over med-high heat, add a drizzling of olive oil and cook your diced onion, chopped garlic and ginger paste for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, now add your edamame and tenderstem broccoli with a dash of water and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender and your water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and once your jasmine rice has cooked drain it through a colander (if need be), and then mix into your aromatic base and chopped coriander, tasting, and seasoning with salt and pepper.

Step 3 - Lemongrass and Soya Sauce

Heat a small saucepan over med-high heat, add a good few glugs of olive oil and once your oil is warm add your chopped lemongrass and chopped spring onion and cook for 2-3 minutes before removing your pan from the heat and mixing through your soya sauce.
