Com ga xao

Com ga xao is a flavorful Vietnamese rice dish featuring tender chicken stir-fried with vibrant vegetables, all served over fluffy jasmine rice. This kosher adaptation ensures a delightful fusion of tastes while adhering to dietary restrictions.

Ingredients

• Jasmine rice - 150 grams
• Chicken breast, boneless and skinless - 250 grams
• Red bell pepper, sliced - 1 medium
• Carrot, julienned - 1 medium
• Green beans, trimmed - 100 grams
• Garlic, minced - 3 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce (kosher) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions, chopped - 2 stalks
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook it according to package instructions, typically using a rice cooker or on the stovetop.
2. While the rice is cooking, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and green beans. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Pour in the kosher soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine everything well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
7. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve it on plates topped with the chicken and vegetable stir-fry.
8. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
