Chef's tip: For even cooking, slice the chicken breast against the grain into uniform strips.

Chef's tip: If the sauce reduces too quickly, add a splash of water to loosen it.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a small saucepan, bring 150 ml water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
