Method
Rinse the rice, cut the chicken1 thigh into small pieces, and mince the garlic4.
Heat a skillet with oil and fry the chicken1 for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned.
Add the garlic4 and rice, and stir for 30 seconds.
Pour in 140 ml water, the soy sauce, and honey, and bring to a boil.
Add the broccoli2, cover, and cook for 10–12 minutes over low heat until the rice has absorbed the liquid.
Dissolve the starch in 20 ml cold water, pour it into the skillet, and heat for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season with pepper, check that the chicken1 is cooked through, and serve immediately.
Tips
- Why it works
- Промывай рис до почти прозрачной воды: так смоешь лишний крахмал, и крупа в сковороде не склеится плотным комом.
- Substitutions
- Замени бёдра на 170 г куриного филе, но готовь на 1–2 минуты меньше. Мёд можно заменить 8 г сахара.
- Common mistakes
- Частая ошибка — сильный огонь под крышкой: рис снизу темнеет и пахнет жареным раньше, чем станет мягким.
- Storing and reheating
- Храни в холодильнике до 2 дней. Разогревай в сковороде с 1–2 ложками воды под крышкой 3–4 минуты.
- Serve with
- Подавай на ужин с огурцом или простой капустной нарезкой, чтобы добавить свежести к соевому соусу.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
