If you’re making the pickled cucumbers, then add all the ingredients to an airtight jar or container and leave to pickle for as long as possible. These will keep for up to 4 days.
Rinse and wash the basmati rice until the water runs clear, then leave to soak for 10 minutes, whilst you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Mix together the Garlic-Honey sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Add the rice, ginger, stock, soy sauce and chicken thighs to a deep, lidded saucepan, then pour over the Garlic Honey sauce. Place the saucepan over a high heat and bring the pan to a simmer, once simmering, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, checking once or twice throughout the cook time. The rice should be fluffy, with no excess liquid and the chicken cooked through. Leave the rice pot to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with the sesame seed oil, spring onions, chilli oil and peanuts. Serve alongside the pickled cucumbers.
