Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and half the garlic salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Toast sesame seeds and prep
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
    When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) 
    Transfer to a plate.
  • While seeds toast, cut broccoli into 1-inch pieces.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.
Sear and roast chicken
3
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high. 
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp oil and chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook 1-2 min per side, until golden. 
  • Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 8-12, until cooked through.**
Make gomae veggies
4
  • Reheat pan over medium.
  • Add broccoli, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter, and 1/2 cup (same for 4 servings) water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, 3-4 min, stirring often until water absorbs and broccoli is bright green.
  • Add carrots, Cook 1-2 min, stirring often until tender-crisp. Transfer to a plate. Sprinkle half the sesame seeds over top.
Make sticky ponzo sauce
5
  • Reheat pan over medium-low.
  • Add brown sugar, ponzu-lime sauce, and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cook, 1-2 min, stirring sugar dissolves and sauce is glaze-like
  • Stir in any chicken resting juices. 
Finish and serve
6
