Method

6 steps

Step 1. Cook the rice: Cook the rinsed jasmine rice according to package instructions. Once done, fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
Step 2. Make the honey garlic sauce: While the rice cooks, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
Step 3. Sear the chicken: Pat the chicken cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on the outside and cooked through with no pink remaining. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Step 4. Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the pan and stir-fry the mixed vegetables over high heat for 3–4 minutes, until just tender but still with a little bite.
Step 5. Glaze and finish: Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the honey garlic sauce. Toss everything together over high heat for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and vegetables in a glossy glaze.
Step 6. Serve: Spoon the honey garlic chicken and vegetables over the warm rice and serve immediately.
