Ingredients
- 250 g chopped chicken thighs
- 150 g basmati rice
- ½ red onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 Italian green pepper
- Teriyaki sauce to taste
- 1 garlic clove
- White sesame seeds
- Chilli flakes to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 320 ml water for cooking the rice
- 50 ml water for the sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Place the water in a pot together with the basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 11 to 13 minutes. When finished, separate the grains with a fork and keep the rice covered while preparing the rest of the recipe.
- Slice the onion into thin strips and cut the peppers into thin slices. In a hot frying pan, toast half of the sesame seeds for a few minutes and set them aside.
- Using the same pan, add the oil and sauté the chopped garlic until it releases its aroma. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until it is nicely golden. Then add the onion and peppers, stirring constantly until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Pour in the teriyaki sauce together with the water reserved for the sauce and cook over medium heat until it thickens and fully coats the chicken and vegetables. Add some of the toasted sesame seeds and mix well.
- Serve a portion of basmati rice on each plate and top with the teriyaki chicken and stir-fried vegetables. Finish with the remaining sesame seeds and, if you enjoy a spicy touch, sprinkle chilli flakes to taste.
A practical, colourful recipe that is perfect for enjoying the flavours of Asian cuisine at home.
