Crispy Sesame Chicken and Fried Rice

Fried Rice

1. Heat the butter on high heat in a large pan. Add frozen vegetables and eggs. Cook until the eggs become firm (for 1-2 minutes).
2. Add rice and tamari or soy sauce. Cook for 2 minutes and set aside.

Chicken

1. Combine the chicken, egg, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper and corn flour in a large bowl. The ingredients will form a thick paste around the chicken.
2. Heat the oil on medium heat in a large pan and fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes until golden (see note 1 for oil options).
3. Set the chicken aside to drain on a paper towel.

Sauce

1. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the tamari or all-purpose soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the corn flour and water if the sauce is too thin or 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp at a time, if it is too thick (see note 2).
2. Return the chicken to the pan and stir to coat evenly.
3. Serve the fried rice topped with the chicken and spring onions.
