- 2.5 Tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1.5 Tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Sriracha or Chilli Flakes
- Ground White Pepper
- 1 kg Chicken Thigh, Boneless & Skinless
- 2 tsp Cornflour (Cornstarch for US)

- 1.5 Cups Jasmine Rice, Washed
- 550 ml Cold Water
- 1 Tbsp Peanut Oil
- Spray Oil
- Black or White Sesame Seeds

## Instructions

1. Trim, peel, and slice one red onion in half, then make thin slices across to give more surface area to soften and caramelize quickly in the pan.
2. Slice off the cheeks of one red bell pepper (capsicum) by standing it up and slicing around, or slice it in half and remove the core, then thinly slice.
3. Remove the tops from two carrots, optionally peel them, and slice them into thin rounds for extra nutrients.
4. Grate three cloves of garlic on a microplane to create a paste, and grate 1 teaspoon (5g) of peeled ginger, then mix them together.
5. Prepare three spring onions (scallions) by separating the white root from the green stem; roughly chop the white root, and thinly slice the green stem for garnish.
6. For the glaze, combine 2.5 tablespoons (50ml) of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon (20ml) of rice wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons (10ml) of sesame oil, 1.5 tablespoons (30g) of honey, 1 teaspoon (5ml) of Sriracha or chili flakes (optional), the garlic and ginger, and a little ground white pepper.
7. Whisk all the glaze ingredients together, concentrating on the garlic and ginger, until everything is combined.
8. In a separate bowl, add 1 kilogram (2.2lb) of boneless and skinless chicken thigh with any fat or extra sinew trimmed off.
9. Add 2 teaspoons (6g) of cornflour (cornstarch for US), a pinch of salt (remember there is sodium in the sauce), and ground white pepper to the chicken.
10. Mix the chicken and seasonings thoroughly, ensuring all the cornflour is completely mixed and coated.
11. Place a saucepan onto your stovetop, add 1.5 cups (350g) of washed jasmine rice, 550ml (550g) of cold water, and a small pinch of salt.
12. Bring the rice to a boil, then place a lid on, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 12 minutes undisturbed.
13. In the meantime, place a large pan over a medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon (20ml) of peanut oil (or spray oil to lower calories).
14. Add the sliced red onions, bell peppers, carrots, and a little salt (and black pepper if desired) to the pan.
15. Sauté the vegetables for about 8 to 10 minutes until the onions are slightly caramelized, the carrots are al dente, and the bell peppers have softened.
16. Add the white root of the spring onion to the pan and cook for a further 1 minute to slightly soften; everything should be al dente, not falling apart.
17. Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set aside.
18. Let the rice sit off the heat for 4 minutes with the lid still on to continue steaming.
19. Remove the lid from the rice and fluff it up with a fork or a spatula; it should be soft, sticky, and fluffy with nothing stuck to the bottom of the pan.
20. Place the same pan used for vegetables back over medium-high heat, add a touch of spray oil or peanut oil, get the pan hot, and add the seasoned chicken.
21. Cook the chicken for a total of about 10 minutes, or until it's golden brown with a nice crust, flipping it multiple times (about 4 to 5 minutes per side).
22. Once the chicken is done, add in the prepared glaze, scraping the bowl to get all the flavor.
23. Cook the chicken with the glaze for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the glaze has reduced down, thickened, and coated the chicken (you can also flip the chicken to ensure even coating).
24. Once the chicken is coated, remove it from the pan, place it into a bowl, and set it aside.
25. Cook the remaining glaze in the pan for a further 1 minute until it's nice and sticky and more like a glaze, allowing you to run a spatula through the pan without it pooling back over.
26. You can leave the chicken whole, thinly slice it, or dice it; the choice is yours for serving.
27. To serve, place the cooked rice on one side of five 750ml containers, the stir-fried vegetables on the other, and the chicken in the middle and over the top.
28. Drizzle over the remaining glaze left in the pan, ensuring not to waste any of that flavor.
29. Optionally, sprinkle some black or white sesame seeds on the rice and garnish with the green part of the spring onion if you've used it.
