Hoisin-Glazed Chicken with Roasted Kohlrabi

Description

In every way, taste, shape and form, this bowl of plenty has what it takes to combat the cold weather. Piled over a heaping helping of long-grain rice, the chicken shines in a sweet and savoury glaze of hoisin sauce, while kale brings in a nutritious zap of green. Soft crunch comes from cubes of kohlrabi, an underloved vegetable (it looks like an alien but has a nice subtle flavour). The mayo, which gets a kick in the pants from kimchi, is not to be missed.
