Steps:

• Cut 2-3 slashes in each chicken thigh, sprinkle the spices over and turn to coat. If you have time, cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for 2 hrs, or overnight in the fridge.
• Heat half the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for 4 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 secs more. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan and sprinkle over the sugar. Cook over a medium heat until the sugar begins to caramelise. When it turns dark brown, add the chicken and cook for 4 mins, turning. Pour in the passata, stock and vinegar, then add the pepper, onion and garlic. Season and stir. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 25 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, put the rice in a saucepan, cover with water and add salt. Bring to the boil and cook for 10-12 mins. Drain and return half to the pan with half the kidney beans, then cover. (Run the other half of the rice under cold water, drain and leave until cold, then mix with the remaining kidney beans. Chill in a container for Thursday's recipe.).

SPICY FRIED RICE WITH CHICKEN, BEAN SPROUTS AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. When it shimmers and emits wisps of smoke, add the scallions, carrot, and bean sprouts. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat if it looks like it might burn. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, followed by the chicken pieces; cook, stirring occasionally, over high heat until the chicken is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, add chicken to the bowl with the vegetables, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
• Put the last tablespoon of oil in the skillet, followed by the garlic. When fragrant, about 15 seconds, add the rice a bit at a time, breaking up any clumps with your fingers and stirring it into the oil. When all the rice is added, make a well in the center and break the egg into it; scramble it a bit, then stir it thoroughly into the rice.
• Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan and stir to combine well. Add the coconut milk and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has boiled off, just a minute or so. Add the fish sauce, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the peanuts, basil, and chiles. Serve with the lime wedges.
