Ingredients

• 2 Chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup ginger miso-mirin sauce

• 6oz broccoli

• 1/2 cup edamame

• 3 1/2 oz cabbage and carrots

• 1/4 cup dried Shiitake mushrooms

• 1/2 tsp Shichimi togarashi

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425o. Bring rice, 2 1/2 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt to a boil in a small pot. Stir. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover with lid. Simmer for 16 minutes or until rice is tender and water absorbed. Remove from heat. Let rest, covered, for 3 minutes.
2. Chop shiitake mushrooms. Place in a small bowl. Cover with water; let soak for 5 minutes or until mushrooms are softened. Once softened, strain and discard liquid.
3. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces.
4. Pat chicken breasts with paper towels to dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1/4 tablespoon cooking oil in a medium oven-safe saute pan, over medium-high heat. Add chicken to a hot pan and sear for 3 minutes on each side. Remove pan from heat. Add ginger miso-mirin sauce and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine. Transfer pan to oven. Roast 10 to 12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
5. Heat 1 1/2  tablespoons cooking oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add broccoli, edamame, cabbage, and carrots to the hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 7 to 8 minutes or until broccoli is fork-tender and edamame is slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
6. Fluff rice with a fork. Add mushrooms to the pot. Season with shichimi togarashi to taste. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
7. Cut chicken into 5 to 7 pieces each. Divide rice with shitake between bowls. Fan miso chicken over top. Spoon any sauce from the pan over the chicken. Serve stir-fried vegetables next to the chicken. Enjoy!
