Wok with chicken and rice
2 servings
30 minutes
Wok with chicken and rice is the quintessence of Japanese cuisine, combining simplicity, exquisite taste, and harmony of ingredients. This dish originated in street stalls of Asia, where quick and aromatic fried dishes became part of everyday cooking. Tender chicken fillet fried with onion, garlic, and ginger is infused with spicy seasonings that reveal depth of flavor. Boiled rice takes on a golden hue as it absorbs the aromas of curry and soy sauce. The addition of eggs gives a light texture while a sesame touch adds a hint of nuttiness. This dish is perfect for an energetic dinner or a cozy family lunch when you crave something hearty yet light.
