Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Start by rinsing 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, add the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.

Sautéing the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    Slice the bell pepper and carrot into thin strips. You can also roughly chop the spinach.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet used for chicken, add the sliced bell pepper and carrot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Add the spinach and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.

Assembling the Rice Bowl

  1. 7

    Combine Rice and Sauce

    Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Mix well.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the rice at the bottom, followed by the sautéed vegetables and sliced chicken on top.

  3. 9

    Garnish

    Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them on top of the bowl along with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
