Thinly slice the cucumber. Pick the coriander leaves and finely chop the stems. Cut the lime into wedges. Crush or finely chop 2 garlic cloves. Cut the chicken into 2cm chunks. Combine 2 tsp white vinegar and 1 tsp sugar in a large bowl. Add the cucumber and toss to combine. Set aside to pickle, tossing occasionally, until needed.
Step 2 — Start curry
Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat. Cook the chicken, stirring, for 2-3 mins until browned. Add the garlic, coriander stems and curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until fragrant. Stir in three-quarters of the coconut milk and 60ml (¼ cup) water and bring to a simmer.
Step 3 — Simmer curry
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the curry, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 mins until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining coconut milk. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, massage the packet of rice to loosen and tear a 2cm opening for the steam to escape. Heat in the microwave for 90 secs or until warmed through.
Step 4 — Serve up
Divide the rice and chicken curry among bowls. Top with the pickled cucumber, drizzle with the pickling liquid and scatter over the coriander leaves. Serve with the lime wedges and enjoy!
