Ingredients

Rice

  • 1 pack jasmine rice
  • 2¼ cups water
  • 1 sachet coconut thread
  • ¼ tsp salt

Thai Turkey

  • ½ egg
  • 1 Tbsp Thai green curry paste
  • 1 pack turkey mince
  • 1½ tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime

Salad

  • 1 bok choy
  • 1 courgette
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 pottle Thai dressing

To Serve

  • 1 pottle lime and garlic mayo

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Combine rice ingredients in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk egg. Add all Thai turkey ingredients and mix well. Using clean, damp hands, shape mixture into golf ball-sized balls then flatten slightly, about 1.5 cm-thick. Place on prepared tray.
  3. Bake (on middle-upper oven rack) for about 8 minutes, until nearly cooked through. Switch oven to high grill for a further 3 minutes, until lightly brown on top.
  4. While patties cook, rinse bok choy, cut ends 1cm and thinly slice; grate courgette; peel cucumber into ribbons. Add all to a medium bowl, along with lemon juice and Thai dressing. Season to taste.
  5. To serve, spoon ¾ cup cooked coconut rice per person onto plates. Divide Thai turkey patties and bok choy salad between plates and dollop with lime and garlic mayo on the side.
