This recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic chicken stir-fry, incorporating vibrant vegetables and aromatic jasmine rice for a wholesome and flavorful meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to achieve a good sear.
Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Cut the chicken into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Add the garlic and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook until they are tender-crisp.
Use a variety of colorful vegetables for a visually appealing dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, and water, then pour into the skillet.
Mix the sauce ingredients well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir in the jasmine rice.
Rinse the rice before adding to remove excess starch.
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to ensure the rice cooks evenly.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the stir-fry hot.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
