PrepRice - (Skip if rice was made ahead.) For white rice, rinse until clear. Fill a saucepan or Dutch oven (or rice cooker) with rice, water (use 2:1 ratio for water to rice), and some salt. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Once the water boils, stir, lower heat to a low-medium, and cover. Check white rice after ~20 min; brown at ~45 min. Rice is done when it's absorbed all the water. If it's not done, leave the cover on until all water has been absorbed. Take the cover off to release steam and fluff with a wooden spoon after 5 minutes. |

MakeHeat a wok or saute pan over medium-high heat. Toss chicken in flour. Add the first part of cooking oil to wok. When oil begins to shimmer, add chicken. Saute until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside (don’t worry if it isn’t cooked all the way through; it will finish in the sauce). |

Add chicken back to the pan. Push all ingredients to the sides forming a hole in the middle. Give stir-fry sauce a stir and pour it into the hole. Wait for it to bubble and darken before tossing to coat everything in sauce. Cook until chicken is cooked through and everything is coated in sauce, 2 to 3 minutes more. |
