Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast or beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.25 cup peanut butter
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
- 1.5 cups steamed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken or beef slices with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken or beef and cook until fully cooked through and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Mix well to create a smooth and creamy sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Return the cooked chicken or beef to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the peanut sauce. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the peanut chicken or beef, steamed vegetables, and a sprinkle of green onions and crushed peanuts.
Drizzle with sriracha if desired for extra heat.
Serve warm and enjoy!
