Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 300 grams Chicken breast, cut into small pieces
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Edamame (shelled)
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove any excess starch.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently until the carrot begins to soften.
Push the carrots to the side of the pan and break the eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the carrots.
Add the cooked rice, edamame, and cooked chicken to the pan. Pour in the soy sauce, and stir everything together well.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well combined.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions before serving.
Serve the High Protein Ginger Rice hot, and enjoy your nutritious meal.
