Ingredients

  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 500g chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/3 cup cornflour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2.5 cups cooked brown rice, to serve
  • 3 Lebanese cucumbers, sliced
  • 3 serves beauty greens powder
  • Sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 2 tbsp cornflour

Method

  1. Whisk the egg in a medium bowl, add the chicken, and mix to coat.

  2. In a separate bowl, combine the cornflour, salt, and garlic powder. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Shake off any excess flour.

  3. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket, spray with oil, and air fry at 180°C for 12 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

  5. Add the crispy chicken to a large bowl, pour over the sauce, and toss to coat.

  6. Divide the rice between bowls, top with cucumber and chicken, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  7. Add a serve of Beauty Greens to each glass of water, stir to dissolve, and enjoy!
