Ingredients

JASMINE RICE

  • 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
  • 2 1/4 cups water

GINGER SOY CHICKEN

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 500 g chicken thighs, sliced 1–2cm

VEGGIE STIR-FRY

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, cut into thin matchsticks
  • 1 capsicum, core and seeds removed and sliced 1cm
  • 1 courgette, sliced 0.5cm
  • 2 baby bok choy, rinsed, ends trimmed 1cm and thinly sliced

Steps

  1. Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. In a pot combine soy sauce, sugar, water, sesame oil, vinegar and ginger and bring to the boil. Add cornflour/water mixture and simmer on low-medium for 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Stir through sesame seeds.
  3. While ginger soy dressing is simmering, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning regularly, until just cooked through.
  4. Add cooked chicken to ginger soy dressing, cover and set aside. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel, and return to a high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  5. Stir-fry onion, carrot and capsicum for about 4 minutes. Add courgette and bok choy and stir-fry a further 1–2 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
  6. Spoon ¾ cup cooked rice onto each plate. Top with veggie stir- fry and ginger soy chicken. Drizzle over remaining ginger soy dressing.
