Instructions

Mix together ingredients listed for marinade (outside of chicken) well. Then, coat chicken pieces in marinade and refrigerate for minimum 1 hour (maximum overnight).
In a pan on medium flame, add 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp garlic, and ½ tsp jalapenos. Once slightly sauteed, add bell peppers and carrots and stir fry for 4 minutes on medium heat. Then, add cabbage, spring onion, soy sauce, and vinegar and saute.
In a separate pan, roast marinated chicken pieces between medium and high heat. While this is cooking, in a third pan, add oil, garlic, and jalapenos (from rice ingredients) and saute for a few minutes without burning. Then, add rice, chicken stock, and salt to taste. Cook on medium flame. Simultaneously, ensure that chicken pieces don’t burn.
Cover the pan with the chicken in it, cooking on low. Then, reduce the heat of the rice to low and cook until soft but not mushy.
Combine sauce ingredients in a separate bowl and set aside.
To assemble, layer rice, vegetables, chicken, and garnish with sauce.
Serve warm.
