Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
- Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1¼ cups [2¼ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of the meal.
2
Prep the vegetables
- Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Cut the snap peas in half on the diagonal.
3
Prep your protein
- Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Chicken, steak, or pork strips: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
- Shrimp: Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel.
4
Start cooking your protein
- In a large bowl, add the flour blend, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Add your protein and toss, turning to coat all sides; shake off any excess.
In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 3 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes for shrimp; 2 to 4 minutes for steak, pork, tofu, or plant-based chicken; and 3 to 5 minutes for chicken. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out the pan.
5
Cook the vegetables; finish the stir-fry
In the same pan used for your protein, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add your protein and any accumulated juices, snap peas, water chestnuts, and sweet and sour blend. Cook, stirring frequently, until your protein is cooked through, the peas are crisp-tender, and the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with your protein and vegetables. Garnish with the sesame seeds and serve.
