- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 6 skinless and boneless chicken thighs sliced
- 2 large garlic cloves crushed
- 1 thumb-sized piece ginger grated
- 50 g runny honey
- 30 ml light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- To serve with
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 4 spring onions shredded
- 250 g of rice you can use sticky or long grain rice
- 1 packet steamed bok-choi or spring greens
Start the rice cooking by frying it in a little oil. This cooks off the starch and you end up with lovely, separated rice. If you are using sticky rice, follow the instructions on the packet.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken and fry for 7 mins, or until golden. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 2 mins. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, vinegar and 100ml water. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 - 5 mins over a medium heat until the chicken is sticky and coated in a thick sauce.
Scatter over the spring onions and sesame seeds, then serve the chicken with the rice and vegetables.
