- 3 tablespoons Sriracha chilli sauce
- Juice of ½ lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

For the rice cups and chicken:
- 2 cups cooked rice, completely cooled (preferably a sticky rice variety)
- 4 chicken thighs, marinated with VH.RUB2
- Muffin pan, greased

Rice cups Prepare:
- Preheat the oven and prepare the baking tin: Preheat the grill to 200˚C indirectly and grease the muffin pan.
- Form the rice cups: Add 20-30 grams of cooled rice to each cup of the prepared muffin pan. Use your fingers to press the rice around the sides of the cups and make a cavity in the centre. Make sure the sides and bottom are even and not too thick.
- Tip: Wet your fingers a little if the rice sticks to your fingers.
- Bake the rice cups: Bake the rice cups for 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the cups start to loosen from the baking tin.
Chicken preparation:
- Heat the barbecue: Heat the barbecue to high temperature.
- Grill the chicken: Grill the marinated chicken over high heat until it is cooked and has a nice grill flavour.
- Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken from the barbecue and pull it with two forks or your hands.
Serving:
- Fill rice cups: Carefully remove the rice cups from the muffin tin and place on a serving plate.
- Add chicken: Fill each rice cup with the pulled chicken.
- Sriracha mayo on top: Spoon a little Sriracha mayo over the chicken.
- Garnish: Garnish with the spring onion rings and thinly sliced cucumber (julienne).
Tips for the Perfect Crunchy Rice Cups
- Make sure the rice has cooled down well before forming the cups so they stick together better.
- Wet your fingers so that the rice sticks less to your fingers
- Vary the spiciness of the sriracha mayonnaise by adjusting the amount of sriracha to taste.
