This Sticky Chicken With Vegetable Fried Rice has it all!
You dont ordinarily think of fresh stir fries as make ahead, freezer friendly meals.
But thats exactly what this Sticky Chicken With Vegetable Fried Rice is.
Tomato sauce is also the secret ingredients in these Sticky Chinese Wings.
To be honest, Ive never seen a recipe like this anywhere before.
Marinating the meat and popping it into the freezer is nothing new.
The unique step is cooking the rice ahead and freezing it.
I think most people assume you cant freeze rice.
Or they simply dont think of it as a done thing.
But it isperfectly ok to freeze cooked rice.Its actually the norm in Asian countries.

All my relatives in Japan do it.
In fact, freezing rice makes it perfect for using for fried rice because it dries it out.
Have you noticed that fried rice is not sticky like sushi rice?

Thats because it is made using leftover rice from the day before, refrigerated overnight.
By freezing rice, you get the same result.
Im going to be straight with you this is not an authentic Chinese stir fry.
I am sure I will offend purists!
Because the secret ingredient I use to make this sticky is tomato sauce (ketchup).
Yes, its true.
Its perfect because its thick and sticks to the meat.
And it has sugar in it which helps with the caramelisation.
Oh, a word of warning.
Turn your fan on or open your windows.
Trust me, its worth it.
The flavour you get from the caramelised marinade is gold.
