Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. In a large bowl, mix together the satay sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil and half the lime juice. Season, then add the drumsticks and coat in the sauce. Arrange on a foil-lined baking tray and cook for 30-40 minutes until cooked through and the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted.
  2. Meanwhile cook the rice. Rinse it under running water, swishing until water runs clear. Drain and place in a pan with 750ml (1 1⁄4pts) water and 1⁄2 tsp salt. Bring to the boil and cook, uncovered, until water level drops below surface of the rice and small holes form, about 4-5 minutes. Turn heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and water absorbed.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in a wok over a high heat and stir fry the cabbage and garlic with a splash of water until wilted. Serve with the chicken and rice, sprinkling over the remaining lime juice, if you like.
