Ingredients

  • chicken breast 150 g
  • mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, snap peas) 1.5 cups
  • jasmine rice 3/4 cup cooked
  • soy sauce 1 tbsp
  • olive oil 1 tbsp
  • garlic 1 clove

Method

  1. Prepare Ingredients. Wash and pat dry the chicken breast. Cut it into bite-sized strips or cubes for even cooking. Rinse the mixed vegetables if fresh, and cut any large pieces into bite-sized portions. Mince the garlic clove finely. Measure out the cooked jasmine rice and set aside.
    Tip: Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces helps it cook evenly and quickly.
  2. Cook the Chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Let them sear without moving for about 2 minutes, then stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
    Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the chicken browns nicely instead of steaming.
  3. Add Garlic and Vegetables. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry everything together for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp but still bright and colorful.
    Tip: Keep the heat high enough to quickly cook the vegetables while retaining their crunch.
  4. Add Soy Sauce and Combine. Pour the soy sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
    Tip: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, but soy sauce usually provides enough saltiness.
  5. Serve with Jasmine Rice. Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly between two plates or bowls. Spoon the chicken and vegetable stir fry over the rice. Serve immediately while hot.
    Tip: Warm the rice slightly before serving if it has cooled.

Pro tips

  • Use a wok or large skillet to allow quick, even cooking with minimal steaming.
  • Prep all ingredients before cooking since stir fry cooks quickly.
