Wok stir-fried rice with vegetables and chicken recipe

 

 

Step-by-step preparation. Rice and vegetable base

  1. To begin, cook the rice in a saucepan with boiling water following the manufacturer’s instructions, 13 minutes with our SOS round rice. When it is ready, drain it well and set aside.
  2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. To do this, cut the red pepper and carrots into sticks.
  3. Next, we will separate the broccoli into florets and discard the stem, which we can save for another preparation such as a vegetable puree.
  4. Peel and chop the onion. Now, heat the wok over high heat, adding a dash of oil. When it is hot, add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes.
  5. Once the onion has been sautéed, add the rest of the vegetables to the sauce, adding more oil if necessary. The best way to get that crunchy texture is to stir them constantly, so that they cook evenly.

 



 

 



 

Preparing and sautéing rice

  1. Once the vegetables are al dente, add the chicken with salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. When we see that the chicken is almost done, we will add the soy sauce, the amount of which we will adjust based on our preferences. This step will give it that characteristic umami touch typical of stir-fries, as well as giving the dish a nice color.
  3. When the rice is ready, add it to the wok along with the vegetables. Make sure it is well drained before adding it, as we don’t want excess water to spoil the preparation.
  4. We will also add corn to taste and mix the ingredients well so that the rice absorbs the rest of the flavors.
  5. We let it cook for several minutes and remove from the heat.
  6. The last step of this preparation will be to serve the wok of rice, vegetables and chicken in individual portions.
  7. We can decorate the dish by adding a few slices of lime, which will give it that citrus touch and enhance the dish as a whole.
  8. Wok rice with vegetables and chicken is a nutritious, delicious and very versatile dish that we can adapt to our dietary needs and preferences.

Tips for a perfect chicken and vegetable rice wok

  • Rice is good for storage as long as it is kept in an airtight container and in the refrigerator. It will last up to three days, keeping its freshness intact.
  • We can add proteins such as tofu, grilled chicken or some delicious shrimp, ingredients that will add an extra dimension to the dish and complete it. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more aromatic dish, we can always add fresh herbs such as cilantro, mint or basil, but always at the end of the stir-fry. The flavors provided by these aromatic herbs will combine perfectly with the rice and vegetables, giving it an even more characteristic touch.
  • To reheat rice, it is recommended that you add a little more broth or water (either in the pan or in the microwave), and stir from time to time until it has heated evenly.
  • The most important thing about this dish is that the ingredients are as fresh as possible. Since it contains so many vegetables, we must focus on those that are in season, since this will provide us with a higher quality texture and flavour. The most popular options are asparagus, peppers and mushrooms, since they are very versatile.
  • It is not advisable to heat rice more than once, as this can lead to the proliferation of bacteria. If the amount of rice we have prepared is very large, it is best to store it in individual or double-serving containers, thus making reheating easier.
  • A great way to prepare meals for events or for the whole week is to make this rice in large batches. To do this, use a large pot and cook the rice in batches to ensure that it cooks evenly. For vegetables and chicken, increase the quantities proportionally, as well as with the seasonings you add.
  • On the other hand, if cheese is your thing, you can always use grated parmesan or feta cheese, which we should crumble once we finish sautéing the dish. The cheese will begin to melt and mix with the vegetables and rice, making this preparation an irresistible wonder.
  • For the perfect result, it is important to use long grain or round grain rice of optimum quality. Before starting to cook it, it is important to wash it to remove any excess starch it may contain. The rice will loosen up and absorb the flavours of the rest of the ingredients better.
