Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine rice with 2 cups of water and bring to boil. Reduce heat, and cook until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 17 minutes total.

  2. Step 2

    While the rice is cooking, wash, dry and cut chicken into narrow strips; heat nonstick pan large enough to hold all the ingredients over high heat.

  3. Step 3

    Add oil to pan. Reduce heat to medium, and add chicken; brown on both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Mince garlic; wash, trim and seed whole red pepper, and cut into julienned strips. Add garlic and pepper to chicken, and continue cooking.

  5. Step 5

    Wash, trim and cut bok choy crosswise into narrow strips, and cut in half; add to pan, and cover. Cook over low heat.

  6. Step 6

    Grate ginger coarsely, and add to pan with chili paste, vinegar, sake or sherry, pineapple juice and soy sauce. Continue cooking until vegetables are crisp but tender.

  7. Step 7

    Wash, trim and slice scallions.

  8. Step 8

    When rice is cooked, stir it into the chicken and vegetables, and mix well. Season with salt, and cook a minute or two. Serve sprinkled with scallions.

Cooking Notes

Very easy recipe to use with leftover chicken. I subbed zucchini for the bok choy because that’s what I had. Also added some peas.

Try chicken thighs or ground chicken - use a whole pound. Brown rice good!
