Preparation
Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and add ½ the sesame oil. Let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Cook the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry and cut into bite-size pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, cornstarch and S&P.
- In a large pan, heat the remaining sesame oil and a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken* and cook, turning occasionally, 4 to 5 min., until browned and cooked through.
Cook the sweet peppers
- Meanwhile, halve, core and medium-dice the sweet peppers.
- To the pan, add the sweet peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften.
Make the stir-fry
- In a small bowl, combine the orange sauce, ponzu and garlic.
- To the pan, add the sauce and cook, spooning it over the chicken, 2 to 3 min., until coated and beginning to thicken.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your plates.
