  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 lb (450g) chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions until fluffy and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame or vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, combine soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened.
