Ryan's Chicken Schnitzel Curry Ingredients: 2 Coles Australian Chicken Breast Fillets Sage & Rosemary Crumb 2 cups long grain rice 1 tbsp cooking oil For the curry sauce: 1 tbsp cooking oil 2 tbsp curry powder 1 onion, diced 2 tbsp Coles Minced Garlic 2 tbsp Coles Crushed Ginger 1 tbsp Coles Asia Soy Sauce 1 tbsp Coles Pure Australian Honey 1 1/2 cups Coles Liquid Real Stock Chicken 2 potatoes, peeled and diced 2 carrots, peeled and sliced 1 tbsp corn flour Salt, to taste Pepper, to taste To garnish 1 spring onion stem, shredded Method: STEP 1: Add the rice into a rice cooker with 3 cups of water. Set it to cook for 30 minutes or until the rice cooker button switches off. STEP 2: To make the curry sauce, heat cooking oil in a large pot then add onions and cook until translucent. STEP 3: Add curry powder, Coles Minced Garlic and Coles Crushed Ginger then stir until fragrant, approximately 2 minutes. Add Coles Asia Soy Sauce , Coles Pure Australian Honey, Coles Liquid Real Stock Chicken and 1 cup of water, then place a lid on and bring the mix to a simmer for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir intermittently. STEP 4: Once the sauce has had time to develop, add to a blender and pulse until smooth. STEP 5: Add oil to saucepan on medium heat, then add diced potatoes and carrots, cooking for 5 minutes until the colour starts to change. Add the blended curry sauce to the pot, then add corn flour and stir every now and again for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken while the potatoes and carrots finish cooking. STEP 6: While the curry is cooking, remove the Coles Australian Chicken Breast Fillets Sage & Rosemary Crumb from their pack and air fry for 10 minutes at 180C. STEP 7: To serve, add the rice to one half of a shallow plate, then add curry sauce with carrots and potatoes to the other half. Slice the crispy chicken breast fillets and they lay on top of the curry and rice, and garnish with shredded spring onion. STEP 8: Enjoy!

I always think of simple foods as comfort food.... mac and cheese ,mashed potatoes, chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumplings, ice cream, chocolate....stuff like that.

[@honeystly_disgusting6393]

Comfort foods can really be anything, it's often simple, but for some people it's nostalgic or a mix of flavors or textures they love

The fish wasnt seasoned

[@scribe712]

@@yifanchen5262 No need to season the fish when it was topped by a well seasoned sauce. I don't add a lot of seasonings to meats if I'm going to top them with something that has a lot of flavor. It's a great way to reduce the amount of sodium while ensuring the dish has flavor.

Raisins in potato salad? The southerner in me died

[@dylancobalt7807]

What part of SA, because I've seen Santanas in potato salad before

[@alex.profi27]

1. What tf does southerner mean?! You ca be from the south of any country. The entitlement of you americans to think the world is familiar with your inner denominations is astonishing. No one knows what a southerner is and what it means. I KNOW because i ve seen this discourse about potato salad and raisin in the us, but that s just me. No one else will know about your shitty country and what/how you eat. 2. Potato sald isn t an american thing. Its German. So you don t get to say how it should or shouldn t be.

[@seascapes152]

16:03 she talked for a good 10 minutes but as soon as sweet ryan gives thanks she’s “ready to eat” jesus let Ryan be grateful. He’s such a sweetheart.

[@Be1smaht]

right lol

[@jml4774]

It's a Coles commercial. The best part of this video, by far, is the gentleman's (they did not tell us his name) story about how he came out to his family. Coles must be a great company to work for.

His name is Tyler, it was on screen, and you could also see his badge in his coles uniform.

[@lg75398]

Loved this, such a feel good episode and so inspiring!

[@MultiBigbird01]

I like how he said he likes a lot of cheese but only adds a few light springles of cheese on the pasta bake lol. It's like the opposite of other youtubers who say they will only add a light drizzle of olive oil but go ahead and use a shit ton of oil.

[@shestewa6581]

I think they got the oxygen in the air from Coles.

[@NIGHTGUYRYAN]

this episode kinda touched my heart

Will’s dish was so unique , wow 🤩

[@thihal123]

Hmm. I moved countries in my teens and haven’t really had foods of my childhood for decades. It’s so hard to reimagine what childhood food I’d have today because the food system where I grew up was quite limited and things tasted different. For example, we sometimes added sugar to vegetables because for whatever reason, the vegetables were bitter. Oranges also weren’t orange; they were green yellow and do not taste like the orange oranges. Imported foods, except for limited canned foods, was almost nil.
