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. Fluff the rice with a fork.
Step 2 — Prep ingredients
Meanwhile, cut the capsicum into 1cm-thick strips. Cut the broccoli stem into 1cm chunks, then cut the head into small florets. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Combine the garlic, stir-fry sauce, 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp white vinegar in a bowl.
Step 3 — Brown chicken
Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 2-3 mins each side until browned. Remove from the pan.
Step 4 — Stir-fry veggies
Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in the same pan over high heat (see Kitchen 101). Stir-fry the capsicum and broccoli for 3 mins or until tender. Add the chicken and sauce mixture and cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 5 — Serve up
Divide the rice and chicken stir-fry among bowls. Scatter over the sesame seeds and enjoy!
Step 6 — Kitchen 101
Fast and hot is key when stir-frying! Make sure you cook over high heat, stirring constantly so everything is cooked evenly. We've used a deep frypan, but you can use a wok if you have one.
