INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked glutinous white rice (sushi rice)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 5 green onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 3/4 cup chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups water and rice to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and saute the green onions and garlic until tender. Mix in the chicken and mushrooms, and continue to cook and stir about 5 minutes. Mix in the rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
