    Chicken & Vegetable Stir-Fry with Rice & Sesame Seeds
    Title
    • ½ cup Long Grain White Rice
    • 10 oz Ground Pork
    • ½ lb Broccoli
    • 4 oz Mushrooms
    • 2 cloves Garlic
    • 2 Tbsps Soy Glaze
    • 1 tsp Black & White Sesame Seeds
    • 1 Piece Ginger
    • 1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
    • 1 Tbsp Sambal Oelek

    Cook the rice
    1 Cook the rice

    Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm.

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Peel the ginger; finely chop to get 2 teaspoons (you may have extra). In a bowl, combine the tahini, soy glaze, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the broccoli florets and 1/4 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the broccoli is slightly tender and the water has cooked off. Add the sliced mushrooms in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Wipe out the pan.
