Ingredients

• 150g jasmine rice
• 1head broccoli
• 1pcs capsicum
• 1clove garlic
• 1pcs spring onion
• 20g roasted peanuts
• 10ml sesame oil
• 300g free-range chicken breast fillet
• 10g cornflour
• 5g toasted sesame seeds
• 23ml soy sauce
• 10ml sugar
• 10ml white vinegar
• 15ml honey
• 23ml neutral-flavoured oil

Method

1. Step 1 — Cook rice
   Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Put in a small saucepan with 250ml (1 cup) water, cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 mins or until tender and the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for at least 5 mins.
2. Step 2 — Prep ingredients
   Meanwhile, thinly slice the broccoli stem, then cut the head into small florets. Thinly slice the capsicum. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the spring onion on an angle. Coarsely chop the peanuts.
3. Step 3 — Make sauce
   Put the sesame oil, 2 tbs water, 1½ tbs soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp white vinegar and 1 tbs honey in a jug or bowl and stir to combine.
4. Step 4 — Prep and stir-fry chicken
   Thinly slice the chicken into strips. Put the chicken and cornflour in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Heat 1 tbs oil in a large deep frypan over high heat. Stir-fry the chicken for 3 mins or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan.
5. Step 5 — Stir-fry vegetables
   Heat 2 tsp oil in the same pan over high heat. Stir-fry the broccoli and capsicum for 3-4 mins until just tender (if needed, carefully add 2 tbs water while stir-frying to help the vegetables cook without burning, or without needing to add more oil). Add the garlic and spring onion and stir-fry for 30 secs.
6. Step 6 — Get ready to serve
   Add the chicken and any resting juices, sauce and sesame seeds to the vegetables. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until the sauce is slightly thickened. Fluff the rice with a fork. Divide the rice and stir-fry among bowls. Scatter with the peanuts to serve.
