Honey Garlic Sauce

Vegetables and Rice

Method

Preparation

1

Cook the Rice

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water. In a pot, add the rice and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2

Prepare the Vegetables

In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the cauliflower and broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Cooking the Chicken

3

Coat the Chicken

In a bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk the egg with water. Dip each chicken tenderloin in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.

4

Fry the Chicken

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Sauce

5

Prepare Honey Garlic Sauce

In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Final Assembly

6

Combine Everything

In a large bowl, toss the fried chicken pieces with the honey garlic sauce. Serve over the cooked basmati rice and top with blanched vegetables. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
