Method

  1. Rinse the rice, add 140 ml water, bring to a boil, then simmer covered on low heat for 15 minutes until tender. Boil the egg for 8 minutes, cool, and peel.

  2. Julienne the carrot5, slice the cucumber4 into half-moons, mince the garlic8, and cut the chicken1 into 2 cm chunks.

  3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, sear the chicken1 for 6–7 minutes until golden and no longer2 pink inside.

  4. Add the carrot5 and garlic8, cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and honey, simmer for 1 minute until the sauce slightly thickens.

  5. Spoon the rice onto a plate, top with the chicken1 and carrot5 mixture, fresh cucumber4, and halved eggs3. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

Tips

Why it works
Sauté chicken at high heat first to render fat and lock in juices; low heat makes it rubbery. Stir constantly to avoid sticking and burning.
Substitutions
Replace honey with 5g maple syrup for a less sweet taste. Use 10g frozen peas instead of cucumber for convenience.
Common mistakes
Overcooking rice turns it mushy. Check texture after 10 minutes of simmering; it should be firm but tender.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or store for 2 days in the fridge; reheat chicken and veggies in a dry pan for 3 minutes. Freeze without egg.
Serve with
Pair with a cold glass of green tea or miso soup to balance the meal’s richness and heat.
