Grilled Meat

1 1/8 lb (500 grams) Chicken breast

3 tablespoons Aged soy sauce

1 tablespoon Fish sauce

1 tablespoon Brown sugar

3 cloves Garlic, minced

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 stalks Lemongrass, minced

Rice Options

2 cups White rice

2 cups Brown rice

2 units Eggs (for fried rice)

1 cup Green onions, chopped

2 tablespoons Tuscany sunflower oil

1 cup Frozen peas and carrots mix

Sides

1 cup Pickled vegetables (carrots & daikon)

1 cup Fresh cucumber slices

1 cup Lettuce leaves

Method

Marinating the Meat

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, and minced lemongrass.

Marinate the Chicken

Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Cooking the Rice

Cooking White or Brown Rice

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, add 2 cups of rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes (white rice) or 40-45 minutes (brown rice) until tender.

Making Fried Rice

In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then add the cooked rice, green onions, and frozen peas and carrots. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until everything is heated through.

Grilling the Meat

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Sides

Prepare Pickled Vegetables

If using store-bought pickled vegetables, drain and keep ready. Otherwise, prepare your own by soaking sliced carrots and daikon in vinegar and sugar for a few hours.

Slice Cucumber and Lettuce

Wash and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry.
