Method

  1. Cook the rice following the pack instructions, then drain and keep warm. While it's cooking, place the chicken breasts into a pan of boiling water so they are completely covered. Boil for 1 min, then turn off the heat, place a lid on and let sit for 15 mins. When cooked through, cut into slices.
  2. Boil the broccoli until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again.
  3. For the dressing, mix the miso, rice vinegar, mirin and ginger together.
  4. Divide the rice between two plates and scatter over the spring onions and sesame seeds. Place the broccoli and chicken slices on top. To finish, drizzle over the dressing.

    I enjoyed this, it was fresh and tasty. If I made it again, I would make about double the amount of dressing. I also used a lot more than the recommended amount of sesame seeds, cos I love 'em. Only downsides: 1) not sure whether it is a hot or cold meal, I settled for tepid 2) for a lazy-arse like me, it seemed to work through a substantial amount of pans that all needed washing.

    I agree with hungry eyes about the doubling the amount of dressing. I serve the chicken,rice and broccoli hot and dressing cold and that works for us, we have this at least once a month.
