Critical Success Points

  • Do not remove the lid while rice is cooking.
  • Whisk the sauce thoroughly to dissolve corn flour.
  • Sear chicken in a single layer and drain excess water to avoid steaming.
  • Stir constantly when thickening the sauce to prevent burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Take care when slicing chicken and vegetables; use a sharp knife and stable cutting board.
  • Be cautious when working over high heat with oil to avoid splattering.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked through (internal temp 74°C/165°F).
