tips & techniques

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; thinly slice on an angle. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans; halve crosswise. In a bowl, whisk together the soy glaze, sesame oil, vinegar, and black bean-chile sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

2 Cook the rice

Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups 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.

3 Coat & cook the chicken

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the flour and toss to thoroughly coat. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a thin layer of oil on medium-high. Once the oil is hot enough that a pinch of flour sizzles immediately when added, add the coated chicken in an even layer (discarding any excess flour). Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.

4 Cook the vegetables

In the same pan, heat the sautéed aromatics on medium-high until hot (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Add the sliced carrots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the halved green beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly browned and softened.

5 Finish & serve your dish

To the pan, add the cooked chicken and sauce (be careful, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until coated and combined. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished chicken and vegetables (including any sauce from the pan) over the cooked rice. Enjoy!
