Step 1: Rice
Always wash rice before cooking, drain off excess water with sieve.
Gas Hob (100g rice with 150g water)
- Bring to boil on medium to high heat. (Take off the lid if the water starts to overspill.)
- Turn down to low, cover with lid and cook until water is fully absorbed. (approximately 10 minutes)
- Turn the gas off and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Microwave (100g rice with 200g water)
- Microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes with no lid
- Take out of the microwave, cover with lid and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 2: Chicken (while the rice is resting)
- Add a little oil to the wok/frying pan and place over high heat.
- Cook chicken to 80% done (golden brown outside and still a little soft in the middle)
- Take chicken out of the pan and set aside.
(For a crispy version, dust the chicken with a little flour (any type) and cook in a traditional fryer at 180 degrees C for 1 minute or follow the instructions on an air fryer to achieve the same result)
Step 3: Vegetables and finish the whole dish
- Add a little oil to the same wok or frying pan over medium to high heat.
- Add in vegetables and cook until they have softened.
- Put the chicken back in with the vegetables, then add sauce and cook until chicken is fully cooked.
