Ingredients

  • 1 cup of uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup of soy-based chicken substitute, diced
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce

  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions

Equipment

  • Large pot with lid
  • Large skillet or wok

Method

  1. Rinse the rice several times until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and set it aside.
  2. In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and stir once. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
  4. Add the red and green bell peppers and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender.
  5. Add the soy-based chicken substitute to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until it is heated through.
  6. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper to the skillet, and stir to combine.
  7. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add a dash of sesame oil or a few drops of hot sauce to the finished dish. This recipe can also be customized with your favorite vegetables or other soy-based protein substitutes.

Recipe Tips

Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch. This will help prevent the rice from becoming sticky or clumpy. You can also use pre-cooked rice to save time. If you don't have a large skillet or wok, you can use a regular frying pan or sauté pan instead. To make this recipe vegan, simply omit the oyster sauce or use a vegan alternative. Enjoy!
