Instructions
- Rinse the rice with cold water and drain thoroughly. In a saucepan, add the recommended amount of water and cook according to the directions on the package.
- Prep chicken and vegetables per the instructions above.
- Make the Kung Pao Chicken: In a non-stick pan over medium heat, heat the sesame oil and the olive oil. Sauté the chicken until nicely browned. Add in the peppers and onions, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften. Then add the garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, molasses, and lime juice, and bring to a simmer. Add the dissolved cornstarch and simmer until the sauce thickens to a smooth consistency. Adjust the seasonings by adding soy sauce or salt to taste. Keep warm over low heat until you are ready to serve.
- Finish the rice: Once tender, fluff with a fork, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with a lid to keep warm until you are ready to serve.
- Serve Kung Pao over rice and garnish with scallions. Enjoy with fortune cookies and kombucha.
