Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Rinse the rice.
  • Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 1 teaspoon.
In a medium sauce pot, combine the rice, ginger, and 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the rice cooks, prepare the chicken.

2

Prep and cook the chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
  • Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate (the juice will be divided between the chicken and the rice).
In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt, curry powder, sesame oil, sesame seeds, lemon zest, and half the lemon juice. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
Line a sheet pan with foil and brush the foil lightly with oil. Place the chicken on the prepared pan. Roast, turning once halfway through, until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken roasts and rests, finish the rice.

3

Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the rice

  • Trim off the top and bottom of the mango; cut away the peel, then cut the flesh into two halves away from the pit. Cut the halves lengthwise into ½-inch-wide strips, then crosswise into ½-inch pieces.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely tear the leaves.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro for garnish.
In another large bowl, combine the rice, mango, mint, edamame, cashews, fried shallots, 1 tablespoon oil, and remaining lemon juice and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the chicken and rice to individual plates. Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
