Ingrediënten

1/3 cup natural peanut butter (creamy and unsweetened)

2 tablespoons full fat coconut milk

1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 teaspoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons water

2 teaspoons red curry paste

2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 lb (454g) chicken breast , sliced into thin strips

1 tablespoon high heat cooking oil (peanut oil, vegetable oil, avocado oil, etc.)

2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage

1 1/2 cup thinly sliced (julienned) carrots

1 cup thinly sliced mini cucumber

3 tbsp rice vinegar, divided

A pinch of salt and sugar to taste

Optional: 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

1 1/2 cups dry white rice, cooked according to package directions

Optional: finely chopped fresh cilantro and chopped roasted peanuts for topping

Instructies

In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade until smooth and well incorporated. Set half of the sauce aside (you'll use this for drizzling over the bowls later).

Add the sliced chicken to the remaining half of the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight.

Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package instructions. (Make sure to thoroughly rinse the rice before cooking).

Add the cabbage and carrots to one bowl and the cucumbers to a separate bowl. To the cabbage/carrots, add 2 tbsp rice vinegar, a pinch of salt and sugar and (optional) 1 tsp toasted sesame oil and toss well to coat. To the cucumbers, add remaining 1 tbsp rice vinegar and a pinch of salt and sugar and toss well to coat.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the chicken and sear on each side until lightly browned all over, about 7-9 minutes total, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat.

Assemble each bowl with rice, chicken, carrot/cabbage slaw, cucumbers, a drizzle of peanut sauce, and finish with (optional) chopped peanuts and cilantro. Enjoy!
