Directions
- Rinse the jasmine rice in cold water using a strainer, then drain and transfer to a small saucepan. Add the broth and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 15–18 minutes, then remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Peel and mince the ginger and place it in a small bowl with the peanut sauce, a splash of rice vinegar, a touch of water, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Wash, dry, trim, and seed the bell peppers; cut them into medium dice.
- When the skillet is hot, add a little oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the bell pepper and ground chicken; cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add the kale in handfuls, letting each addition wilt before adding more, until fully wilted and tender.
- Pour in the prepared sauce and cook just until the kale is tender and the sauce thickens slightly, about 1–2 minutes more. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- To serve, split the cooked rice between bowls and top with the chicken and kale stir-fry, spooning over extra sauce if desired.
Two tips
- Prep tip: rinse and measure ingredients ahead of time so the stir-fry comes together quickly.
- Leftovers tip: refrigerate Any leftovers in airtight containers; reheat gently and add a splash of water if the sauce thickens.
