Instructions
- 1Cook the brown rice in salted water according to the package instructions (usually 25–30 minutes). While the rice is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.
- 2In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, chopped garlic, cornstarch, and water. Stir until you get a smooth liquid without lumps.
- 3Heat a wok or a larger pan over high heat and add half of the sesame oil. Sauté the chicken strips for 4–5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, then remove them to a plate.
- 4Add the remaining oil, sliced leek, and broccoli florets to the same pan. Stir-fry over high heat for 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables turn vibrant green and slightly crunchy. If needed, add a tablespoon of water to slightly steam-soften the broccoli.
- 5Return the chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything. Stir for another 1–2 minutes over medium heat, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats all the ingredients.
- 6Place the cooked brown rice in a bowl, top with the chicken and vegetables, and sprinkle everything with sesame seeds.
