Instructions

Yields

  • Cabbage, thin sliced: 87%
  • Broccoli, small florets: 81%
  • Carrots, thin half-moons: 79%

Pre-Preparation

  1. Wash all produce thoroughly.
  2. Thinly slice cabbage.
  3. Chop broccoli into small florets.
  4. Thinly slice carrots into half-moons.
  5. Mince garlic.

Preparation

For the sauce:

  1. In a stockpot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
  2. Add the first water amount, chicken base, vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, black pepper, and sugar. Combine and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. If freezing, stop here. Properly cool the sauce (down to 70°F in 2 hours and down to or below 41°F in 4 hours).
  4. Reheat sauce to 190–200°F.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk cornstarch with the second (cold) water amount to make a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the hot sauce and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and lightly syrupy, at least 2 minutes. Do not boil.
  6. Adjust seasonings to taste; the sauce should be spicy. Hold hot until service at 140°F or higher, or cool per HACCP if preparing ahead.

For the bowl components:

  1. Cook brown rice with water in a steamer for about 20 minutes, until tender. Hold hot until service at 140°F or higher.
  2. Steam chicken for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Hold hot until service at 140°F or higher.
  3. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over high heat, swirling 1–3 minutes until fragrant and lightly tan (or roast on a sheet pan at 350°F, mixing regularly, about 5 minutes).

For the vegetables:

  1. In perforated pans, steam cabbage until al dente, about 10 minutes.
  2. Steam broccoli and carrots in separate perforated pans until al dente, about 10 minutes (or blanch in boiling water).
  3. Cover and hold vegetables hot until service at 140°F or higher.

For service:

  1. Combine rice, chicken, toasted sesame seeds, sauce, and vegetables; toss to coat evenly. Hold hot until service at 140°F or higher.
