Instructions
Preparation | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Begin by cooking the long-grain rice in plenty of lightly salted boiling water. The rice will take approximately 12 minutes to cook, so ensure to start the stir-fry around 8 minutes before the rice is done. |
| 2. | In a wok or large frying pan, heat the stir-fry oil or vegetable oil. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Then, incorporate the finely sliced spring onions and mange-tout peas (or sugar snap peas) and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes. |
| 3. | Introduce the chili-garlic sauce to the chicken and vegetable mixture and cook for an additional minute. Season the dish with salt and pepper according to your taste. |
| 4. | Once the rice is cooked, drain it and serve it in warm bowls or plates. Top the rice with the spicy chili garlic chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately. |
| 5. | Pro Tip: For added variety, consider using a combination of white and wild rice in the dish. |
| 6. | Pro Tip: If chili-garlic sauce is not available, you can add a crushed garlic clove to the stir-fry and substitute ordinary chili sauce. |
