Cooking Steps
- Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the rice and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
- Crush or mince the garlic and thinly slice the carrot. Cut the scallions into 2cm chunks.
- Cut the head of the broccoli into florets and then dice the stem.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the garlic with the carrot for 1 minute.
- Boil the rice for 10 - 12 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- To the carrots, add the broccoli and the water (see pantry for amount).
- Cover with the lid and allow to stew for 8 - 10 minutes, or until done.
- Thread the chicken and scallions onto skewers (see Tip).
Tip: if you're short on time, you can skip this and just fry the chicken and scallions directly instead.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the skewers for 3 - 4 minutes per side, or until golden-brown.
- During the final minute, add the East Asian-style sauce and the sesame seeds.
- Allow the sauce to caramelise.
- Serve the rice and vegetables on plates and pour over the sauce.
- Top with the skewers and serve with soy sauce on the side as preferred.
