Directions
GARNISH
In a pan put the vinegar, sugar, garlic, chilli, lemon grass, lime zest and juice. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Pour into a container and allow to cool. Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes and thread onto skewers, allowing 3 skewers per person. Place into a dish and cover with half of the dipping sauce.
Allow to marinate while you cook the rice.
Thai rice will benefit from being soaked in cold water for 2-3 hours if you can spare the time. Next strain it off and place in a saucepan along with the coconut mixture. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes stirring occasionally until the rice softens. If you need to add a little water, season with a little salt and keep warm.
Note: If you add rose water this will enhance the flavour of the coconut.
Fry the chicken skewers in a little oil, in a hot pan until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve with the rice and remainder of the dipping sauce. Garnish with the spring onion, deep fried carrot and chopped chives.
