2 blocks: divide into 3 serves

3 blocks: divide into 2 serves

Ingredients

  • 200g Qetoe Rice 4C

  • 330g chicken mince 6P

  • 1/2 cup red capsicum, diced

  • 1/2 cup zuccini, diced

  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced

  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp gluten-free tamari or soy sauce

  • 1 handful thai basil leaves, chopped

  • salt & pepper to taste

  • lime wedges to serves

Directions:

Make the rice:

  • Add Qetoe Rice to a bowl, cover with just-boiled water, and let it sit for 5–6 minutes. Drain thoroughly and let it steam off excess moisture for 1–2 minutes.


  • Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pan or wok. Add garlic, sauté until fragrant (about 30 secs). Add chicken mince and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through (about 5–7 mins).

  • Add the veggies and cook until tender.

  • Add rice: Add drained Qetoe Rice to the pan. Spread it out and let it sit undisturbed for 1–2 mins to develop golden edges. Toss and repeat until lightly browned.

  • Season: Add soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss to coat evenly.

  • Finish with basil: Turn off the heat and toss in Thai basil leaves to let them wilt gently.


    Serve: Season with extra pepper or chili flakes if you like. Serve hot with lime wedges.
