Method
- Pierce the chicken several time with a sharp knife and rub with salt and pepper over evenly. Put into a non-metallic dish. Drizzle over the teriyaki sauce, onion, garlic, lemongrass, oil and lime juice. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, or up to 12 hours.
- Rinse the rice in cold water, drain and put it in a pan. Pour over 450ml cold water and add a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to the boil. Stir to prevent rice from sticking. Reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stand, covered for a further 10 minutes to allow the rice to steam and finish cooking.
- Heat a non-stick wok, or frying pan, add the marinated chicken and pan-fry for 5 minutes, cover and cook for 5 more minutes until the chicken is golden.
- Add the Tenderstem broccoli to one part of the pan, cover and cook for 2 more minutes, add the spring onion and cook for 1 min. Microwave the carrots with 2tbsp water for 2 minutes.
- Mix the rice vinegar and honey through the cooked rice.
- To serve, spoon a portion of rice into each bowl. Top with teriyaki chicken, broccoli, spring onions and carrots. Sprinkle over sesame seeds.
