Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

(wraps)
1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed
2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated
1/2 cucumber, cut into matchstick-size slices
3 scallions, thinly sliced into 3-inch strips
3 carrots, shredded (in the food processor) or cut into matchstick-size slices
1 mango, peeled and cut into matchstick-sized slices
1/2 cup cilantro
(lime vinaigrette)
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tbsp oil
2 tbsp honey
pinch of salt
(soy dipping sauce)
1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 tbsp vegetable oil
6 tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup ginger, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

Steps:

Make the marinade for the chicken by combining soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds and scallions. Add chicken and marinate in refrigerator for at least two hours. Boil 3 1/2 cups of water. Add rice and cook covered until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. In a large pan, saute spinach in about 1 tbsp sesame oil, then set aside. Add additional tbsp oil, and cook carrots until they begin to soften. Add shitake mushrooms and cook until soft. Remove vegetables and set aside. Heat a tiny bit more oil, then add the chicken and cook through, about 10 minutes. Make sauce by combining ingredients in a small saucepan and stirring until it reaches a boil. Just before serving, fry the eggs sunny-side up, and you can leave the egg a bit runny if you like. Serve all ingredients over rice, and drizzle with sauce.
