🥦 1 cup broccoli (frozen or fresh)
🧄 1 tablespoon garlic paste
🌶️ 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
🫚 1 tablespoon ginger paste
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
🍶 1/4 cup soy sauce
🥄 2 tablespoons oil (for frying)

For the Jasmine Rice:
🍚 4 cups jasmine rice
🧂 1 tablespoon salt
💧 4 cups warm water
🫒 3-4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1- Prepare Ingredients:

Clean, wash, and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Slice the mushrooms and, if using fresh broccoli, cut into florets.

2- Cook Chicken:

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3- Cook Vegetables:

In the same skillet, add mushrooms to the remaining oil and sauté for a few minutes until browned.
Add broccoli and cook for an additional minute.

4- Combine Flavors:

Return the chicken to the skillet.
Add garlic paste, chili garlic sauce, ginger paste, and soy sauce.
Stir well to coat all ingredients with the sauce.
Cook for a couple more minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.

5- Finish and Serve:

Once everything is cooked and combined, turn off the heat.
Serve hot alongside jasmine rice.

6- For the Jasmine Rice:

Soak the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water and soak it for 15-20 minutes.
Sauté Rice: Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode. Add olive oil and the soaked rice, lightly sautéing the rice for about a minute.
Cook Rice: Add 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to the pressure cooker. Cancel the sauté mode, cover with the lid, set the valve to pressure, and cook on the rice setting for 15 minutes.
Release and Fluff: Once done, allow the pressure to naturally release for a few minutes before carefully opening the lid. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the stir-fry.
