Rinse the rice if necessary and cook according to packet instructions. Use two parts water to one part rice, simmering until tender. Keep warm once cooked.<\/li>\n
Combine soy sauce, honey, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl or blender. Set aside.<\/li>\n
Mix julienned carrot, sliced onion, and cabbage. Leave the fresh herbs and chilli for later.<\/li>\n
Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, cooking until softened. Stir in curry powder and flour, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Gradually add chicken stock while stirring, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in soy sauce and honey. Keep the sauce warm.<\/li>\n
Flatten the chicken with a rolling pin under cling film for even cooking. Pane the chicken: coat in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.<\/li>\n
Heat oil to 180\u00b0C in a deep pan. Fry the breaded chicken for 5 minutes, turning to ensure even cooking. Drain excess oil on kitchen paper.<\/li>\n
Dress the slaw with herbs, chilli, and sesame seeds. Plate the rice, ladle curry sauce over the top, and place the chicken on the rice. Drizzle more curry sauce and garnish with fresh herbs and chilli as desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nHow to Adapt for Turkey Leftovers<\/h2>\n
