- 1 cup (250 mL) short-grain rice
- 1 cup (250 mL) water
- 2 cups (500 mL) chopped bok choy
- 1 small sweet red pepper, diced
- 12 oz (375 g) boneless, skinless chicken (thighs or breast), chopped (about 4)
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) soy sauce
- 2 tsp (10 mL) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (250 mL) chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- Sesame seeds or togarashi (optional)
Preparation
In a saucepan, stir together rice and water. Bring to a boil; stir rice well, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in bok choy and red pepper; cover and set aside to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a bowl stir together chicken with rice vinegar, soy sauce and sugar to coat well; set aside.
In a large skillet, bring broth and shallot to a gentle simmer. Cook onion for about 2 minutes to soften. Stir in chicken mixture and cook, stirring often for about 7 minutes or until no longer pink inside.
In a bowl, whisk eggs and green onions together. Slowly pour egg mixture into skillet with chicken and swirl the pan or use a spatula to make sure eggs are throughout. Stir gently and cook for about 2 minutes or until eggs form large curds, are set and fluffy.
Divide rice mixture among bowls and divide egg mixture over top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired to serve.
RECIPE TIP
To find short grain rice, look for arborio, Calrose or sushi rice where other rice is sold.
