Ingredients

• Chicken: 500 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces), 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, salt and pepper to taste.
• Honey Garlic Sauce: 4 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium), 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
• Rice: 250 g jasmine or short-grain white rice, 500 ml water, pinch of salt.
• Vegetables: 200 g broccoli florets, 1 medium thinly sliced carrot, 1 small thinly sliced red bell pepper.
• Garnishes: 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, 2 sliced spring onions.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the rice

Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low, covered, for 12-15 minutes. Let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Step 2: Prepare the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil. Set this aside for later.

Step 3: Prepare the chicken

Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

Step 4: Cook the chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.

Step 5: Add the sauce

Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and thoroughly coats the chicken.

Step 6: Prepare the vegetables

While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes until just tender, or sauté them in a separate pan with a splash of oil.

Step 7: Assemble and serve

Divide the cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top with the glazed chicken and steamed vegetables. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions before serving immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve the best results, ensure your chicken is patted dry before tossing with cornstarch; this helps create a crispier exterior. When cooking the chicken, avoid overcrowding the pan so the pieces sear rather than steam. If you prefer your vegetables with a bit more char, sautéing them at high heat in a wok is a great alternative to steaming.

Varianten und Anpassungen

This bowl is incredibly versatile. You can swap the jasmine rice for brown rice or quinoa for a higher-fiber base. Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas or baby corn for extra crunch. If you enjoy a spicy kick, simply add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce during the preparation step.

Serviervorschläge

For a beautiful presentation, arrange the vegetables and chicken in distinct sections over the rice. This dish pairs exceptionally well with a light, crisp white wine such as a Riesling, which complements the sweetness of the honey. Always serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the tender chicken and the crisp vegetables.
