Ingredients
Scale
Creating this one pot wonder at home is as much about the process as it is the ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
If you’re out of chicken, you can substitute with tofu or shrimp, and feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand. The beauty of this dish lies in its versatility.
Instructions
Cooking this dish is a simple dance of flavors and aromas. Here’s how you can bring it to life in your kitchen:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add garlic, ginger, and onion. Sauté until fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
- Introduce the mixed vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pot. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and white pepper, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the jasmine rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove from heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes. Garnish with green onions before serving.
As Mama Lou always said, “The secret ingredient is love,” so remember to stir some into the pot!
