Instructions

Step 1

1. Mince the scallions, ginger and garlic. Set aside. Coat the chicken in the egg wash and breadcrumb mixtures. Line on an air fryer rack and coat with (optional) no calorie nonstick spray. Air fry for ~12-14 minutes at 400° F.

Step 2

2. While that's going, add the Gochujang paste, white part of the scallion, ginger and garlic to a large nonstick pan/wok over medium heat. Stir-fry for ~2-3 minutes, until browned and fragrant.

Step 3

3. To the same pan, add the frozen veggies.

Step 4

Stir fry for ~2 minutes, until warmed through.

Step 5

4. Lower heat to medium-low, add the egg whites and scramble until fluffy for ~2-3 minutes.

Step 6

5. Add the leftover rice and sauces; stir until everything has changed colour (~4-5 minutes). Set aside.

Step 7

6. Quickly whisk the Sticky Chili Glaze on a smaller pan over medium heat for ~2 minutes, or until thick. Toss the chicken nuggets in the glaze. Top rice with chicken.

Step 8
