Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Veggies

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups red cabbage sliced
  • 1 cup carrot matchsticks
  • 1 cup edamame
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Rice

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 pinch salt

Optional garnishes

  • 2 green onions sliced
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Mix together sesame oil, hoisin sauce and minced garlic together in a bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add chicken to marinade and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add rice, water and salt to a rice cooker or pot on the stove, cooking until the liquid has absorbed, and slice cabbage.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in marinade for 7-8 minutes per side. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  • Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cabbage, carrots and edamame for 5 minutes, seasoning with salt & pepper, until tender. Stir in soy sauce at the end of cook time.
  • Divide rice, chicken and veggies among bowls then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Cook the chicken while the rice is cooking so everything is ready in about 30 minutes.
Add tofu, ground turkey, shrimp, or even a fried egg instead of chicken if desired.
Use whatever veggies you have in your fridge like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas.
Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Warm in the microwave for 1–2 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
