For the Chicken
2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp vegetable oil
For the Stir-Fried Veggies
1 cup broccoli florets
½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
¼ cup sweet corn kernels
¼ cup chopped green onion (plus more for garnish)
¼ cup sliced green beans (optional)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 sp toasted sesame seeds
For the Base
1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
2 cups water
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Cook the rice: Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water. Add it to a pot with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until fluffy. Remove from heat and let sit, covered.
Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add sliced chicken and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken (reserve the marinade) and cook for 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Add the reserved marinade + cornstarch slurry (if using), and simmer for 1–2 minutes until thickened and glossy. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Stir-fry the veggies: In another pan, heat sesame oil. Add broccoli, bell pepper, corn, green beans, and green onions. Stir-fry on medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes until crisp-tender. Add soy sauce and toss well. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
Assemble the bowl: Scoop rice into bowls, top with the glazed chicken and vibrant stir-fried veggies. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds.
