Preparation
1
MARINATE CHICKEN

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 3: 1/2 tsp mild, 1 tsp medium and 1 1/2 tsp spicy and 2 tsp for extra-spicy! Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes then place in a medium bowl. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce (dbl for 4ppl) and half the cornstarch to medium bowl with chicken. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2
COOK GINGER RICE

Peel, then mince or grate 1 tbsp ginger (dbl for 4ppl). Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil , then ginger and rice. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min. Add 1 1/3 cup water (2 1/2 cups for 4ppl) and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.

PREP

Heat same pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), then peppers and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min. Transfer veggies to another plate.

5
FINISH STIR-FRY

Heat same pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), then chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 min.** Stir in veggies and cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper.
