We’re not your usual ordering app. We don’t believe in crazy-high commissions for independent restaurants, to start. Or marked-up menu prices for you. But we still have delivery and takeout from the best local restaurants–so dig in.

Base Ingredients

Protein Options

Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a pot, bringing it to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.

Cooking the Protein

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken (or alternative protein)

    If using chicken, cut it into bite-sized pieces. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. If using tofu, cut it into cubes and sauté until golden brown in the same oil.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    If using shrimp, add them to the pan and sauté until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir-Frying Vegetables

  1. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots to the pan with the cooked protein. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Making the Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger together.

  2. 7

    Combine Sauce with Stir-Fry

    Pour the sauce over the stir-fried protein and vegetables, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Dish

    Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it on plates. Top with the stir-fry mixture and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
