Method

Prep Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook Rice

  1. 2

    Prepare Jasmine Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Cook Vegetables

  1. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, chop the red bell pepper, carrot, and garlic cloves, and slice the ginger into thin strips. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Stir-fry Vegetables

    In a wok or large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped red bell pepper, broccoli florets, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Cook Chicken

  1. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    In the same wok, add a little more oil if necessary and increase the heat to high. Add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

Combine and Serve

  1. 6

    Mix Everything Together

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the stir-fried vegetables back into the wok. Choose your sauce option (Pineapple Citrus, Sweet Thai Chili, or Black Bean Garlic Sauce) and pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Fluff the cooked jasmine rice and serve it on plates. Top with the crispy wok chicken and vegetables, and drizzle with additional sauce if desired.
