Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ½ the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions) and ⅓ of the spices; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the remaining spices. In a medium pan, heat ½ the sesame oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves. Cut the string peas crosswise on an angle into thirds.
Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine the ponzu, remaining sesame oil, garlic and spices, and a drizzle of oil. Add the lettuce, string peas and kimchi; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice, chicken and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
