Cooking Steps
- Peel, then mince or grate 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) ginger.
- Heat a medium pot over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then ginger and rice. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min.
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Cut celery crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Whisk together soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, 1/2 cup water (3/4 cup) and 1 tbsp chili-garlic sauce in a medium bowl. (NOTE: Reference heat guide for chili-garlic sauce.)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add peanuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer peanuts to a plate.
- Heat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers and celery. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min.
- Add garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Transfer veggies to another plate.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces on a separate cutting board.
- Add chicken and Cream Sauce Spice Blend to another medium bowl, then toss until all chicken pieces are fully coated.
- Heat the same large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook, turning pieces occasionally, until golden-brown and cooked through, 6-8 min.**
- Add veggies and sauce mixture to the pan with chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in half the green onions.
- Divide rice between plates. Top with stir-fry.
- Sprinkle peanuts and remaining green onions over top.
