Ingredients

  • 150 grams basmati rice
  • 250 grams chopped chicken thigh
  • 8 grams white sesame seed
  • 0.5 unit onion, cut into thin strips
  • 75 g teriyaki sauce
  • 1 unit green bell pepper, cut into 0.5 cm strips
  • 1 unit bell pepper, cut into 0.5 cm strips
  • 1 g chili flake
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 320 ml water
  • 50 ml water
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: In a covered pot, bring the water for the rice to a boil, add the rice and a pinch of salt, cover and cook for 11-13 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and cut the onion into thin strips and the bell peppers into 0.5 cm strips after removing the seeds. Toast half of the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the chicken: Mince the garlic and sauté it in the pan with a drizzle of olive oil for 1-2 minutes over medium heat until fragrant. Add the chopped chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  4. Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the onion and peppers to the chicken with a pinch of salt, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables soften and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Add the sauce: Stir in the teriyaki sauce and the water for the sauce, and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Add the remaining sesame seeds, taste and adjust salt and pepper to your liking.
  6. Serve the rice on plates and top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining toasted sesame seeds and chili flakes to taste.
