Chicken Breast Grain Bowl in ginger and star anise

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the ginger and star anise elements, and pat the chicken breast dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the chicken breast. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.

Stir in the rice paper and the rest of the ginger and star anise flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the courgette along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped coriander and serve while hot.
