Method

Honey Chicken:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, cornstarch, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour the honey sauce over the chicken and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is fully cooked.

Fried Rice:

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add carrot and peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until tender.
  3. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the scrambled eggs. Cook until fully set, then stir into the vegetables.
  4. Add cooked rice, soy sauce, and black pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until heated through.

Notes

  • For a spicier version of this dish, add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the honey sauce.
  • You can also use brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier option.
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute with white vinegar or rice vinegar.
  • This recipe serves 4 people.
