Stir-fried rice and teriyaki chicken


Hey guys!
So this week I was craving chinese food  and since I didn't want to spend a fortune at China Plate, I opted to make it myself. 3 words, simple, fast and tasty!



Ingredients for the fried rice
1 and a half cup rice
Half cup Sweet corn
1 red pepper
2 handfuls french beans
Garlic
Onion
Soy sauce
Salt and black pepper to taste

Ingredients for the chicken
Boneless chicken breasts or thighs
Olive oil
Garlic
Onion
Ginger
1 Green pepper
Teriyaki sauce
Soy sauce
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons royco



Start of with cutting and boiling french beans then put aside. Boil the rice *for those who dont know how to cook rice that well, always put the double the cups of water per cup of rice, in this case 3 cups water for 1 and half cup rice*  [be careful not to overcook it because it will not fry aswell] . In a separate pan fry chopped garlic and onions with some olive oil. Then add previously boiled french beans and chopped red pepper. Pour in some soy sauce and then add the cooked rice. Make sure you lower the heat at this point so as to mix ingredients well without them burning, put aside cooker if necessary. Lastly add sweet corn, salt and black pepper and mix well.








For the chicken:
Cut the chicken in cubes. Chop green peppers and put aside. In a pot, cook garlic, onions and ginger with some olive oil. Once done, add green peppers and then the chicken. Once chicken starts browning add teriyaki sauce, salt and black pepper. Add some soy sauce to enhance taste and color. After 8 minutes thicken the sauce with 2 tablespoons of royco mixed in 1 cup water. Leave to cook for 5-8 minutes.





Vuala! Id you are an avocado lover, you can serve your meal with some. Enjoy!!!
