-
Slice 12 oz chicken into bite-size strips and toss with 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
-
Separate the stems and leaves of 12 oz bok choy; slice the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Cut 4 oz carrots into thin matchsticks.
-
Mince 2 garlic cloves and grate 1 tablespoon fresh ginger.
-
Make the stir-fry sauce by whisking together 1/3 cup water and:
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Set the sauce beside the stove.
-
Rinse 1/2 cup dry jasmine rice. Put it in a small saucepan with 3/4 cup water and 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes; cook the stir-fry while the rice cooks.
-
Heat 2 teaspoons neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the chicken in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until it reaches 165°F. Transfer to a plate.
-
Add 1 teaspoon neutral oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the bok choy stems and carrots with 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt for 3 minutes. Add the bok choy leaves, garlic, and ginger; stir-fry for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the skillet, stir the sauce once more, and pour it in. Cook for 1–2 minutes, tossing, until the sauce lightly coats everything.
-
Fluff the rice, divide it between two bowls, and spoon the chicken and bok choy stir-fry over it.
