Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt and oil and adding the carrots to the boiling water when you add the rice. When the rice is cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Stir the remaining ingredients except the romaine into the rice mixture. Stir in the chicken. Spoon the mixture down the center of each romaine leaf and roll loosely. Place with the seam side down on plates. Serve immediately for the best texture.
Cook’s Tip
Step 4
Instead of rolling the filling in romaine leaves, try serving it on about 4 cups chopped romaine or packaged angel hair slaw.
