Preparation
Cook the rice
- Mince the garlic.
- In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add 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 let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Start the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry and cut into bite-size pieces; season with S&P.
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, 3 to 4 min., until partially cooked.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.
- Halve the lime; juice ½ and cut the remaining ½ into wedges.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.
- In a small bowl, make the sauce by combining the coconut curry sauce, peanut butter, sambal oelek (add ½ for medium spicy), white bottom of the scallion, brown sugar, lime juice, ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Finish the chicken & cook the bok choy
- To the pan, add the bok choy and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften.
- Add the sauce and cook, 1 to 2 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add 2 tbsp water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your plates.
- Top with the chicken, bok choy and sauce.
- Garnish with the green top of the scallion and lime wedges. Bon appétit!
