Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

⅓ cup warm water
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
chopped green onions for garnish

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together warm water, brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, five-spice powder, and orange peel until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken until the outside is golden brown and the inside is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the chicken and sauce are simmering, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the rice aside and keep warm.
  • Whisk the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until smooth, and stir into the chicken and sauce, a few teaspoons at a time. Let the chicken and sauce cook for about 2 minutes to thicken, then serve over hot cooked rice, sprinkled with green onion.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling to find things while you're cooking.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If you can, try to buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or grocery store.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking chicken or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a variety of spices: Spices are what give Asian food its unique flavor. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to find the combinations that you like best.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve with rice: Rice is the perfect accompaniment to Asian chicken dishes. It's light and fluffy, and it helps to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Asian chicken and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a tasty and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give Asian chicken and rice a try. You won't be disappointed!
