- Heat sesame oil on a high heat in a wok. Scoop the chicken out of the marinade and cook in the wok until browned, and almost cooked.
- Add the onion and cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the marinade and heat through. Add in the peppers, mangetout and dried chillies. Cook for a minute, then stir through the spring onions. Add a splash of water to the sauce if needed.
- Spoon rice into a small bowl, pushing it down with the back of a spoon, then place a serving plate on top and turn the whole thing over. Tap the bowl to release the mound of rice.
- Spoon the chicken around the rice and then sprinkle the top of the rice with the sesame seeds.
