Rice

Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of Jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.

  4. 4

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.

Grilling Meat

  1. 5

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

  2. 6

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add 1 lb of chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 7

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

  4. 8

    Slice the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice into strips.

Cooking Vegetables

  1. 9

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell pepper, zucchini, and julienne the carrot.

  2. 10

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

  3. 11

    Add Soy Sauce

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of soy sauce over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to combine.

Assembling the Rice Bowl

  1. 12

    Layer the Rice

    In a bowl, start with a base of the cooked rice.

  2. 13

    Add Grilled Chicken

    Top the rice with the sliced grilled chicken.

  3. 14

    Add Vegetables

    Finish by adding the sautéed vegetables on top of the chicken.
