Units
Scale
- 500 g chicken breast
- 300 g rice (jasmine)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 of leek
- 1 small piece of ginger (about 1 inch)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 red bell pepper
- 270 g of mushrooms
- 1 chili pepper (optional)
- 280 g corn
- 200 g peas
- 2 tsp mustard
- 3 to 4 tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 glass of water + 1 tbsp of corn starch
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp caraway seeds (ground)
- Spring onion for garnish
Instructions
- First of all, prepare all veggies and meat. Clean the red bell pepper and mushrooms and cut them into smaller cubes. Also cut the leeks, garlic, and chili pepper.
- Pat dry the chicken with kitchen paper and cut into cubes. It is good when the meat is dry. That way, it will get nice and crispy in the pan.
- Now rice. Rinse the rice well, season with salt and pepper, and place in a pot. You need three glasses of water for two glasses of rice. Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Once the rice starts to cook, reduce the heat to a minimum and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the rice absorbs water.
- While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika powder. Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the meat. Stir fry at a high temperature, which gives the meat a nice golden-brown color.
- After a few minutes, move the meat to one side of the pan and place the leek, finely chopped ginger, garlic, and chili on the empty side. Stir fry for about a minute.
- Then place in the mushrooms and red bell pepper. Add mustard, ketchup, and season with ground caraway. Mix everything well. Then pour half a glass of water with a little cornstarch into the pan to make a nice saucy texture. If it still seems dry, feel free to add a little more water.
- Finally, add the corn, peas and mix again. After about two minutes, turn off the heat, garnish with spring onions and serve with a nice portion of warm rice.
Notes
You do not need to wash mushrooms and meat with water at all. Just pat dry the meat. If mushrooms are a bit dirty, clean them with kitchen paper.
