The last few years we have traveled to Biarrtiz, France for a family surf trip. Our favorite restautant and one that we return to several times on each trip is The Beach House in Anglet.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • Sweet soy sauce
  • 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes for skewers. 

Rice:

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli, finely chopped 
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cups cooked (day old) white rice*
  • 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Sweet Soy Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 brown sugar

Garnishes:

  • 4 fried eggs

  • raddishes, sliced thin

Instructions

Chicken:

  1. Marinate chicken in 1/3 of the sweet soy sauce saving the remainder of the sauce for the rice.
  2. Once chicken has marinated for at least 30 minutes, thread onto wood skewers that have been soaked in water.
  3. Grill chicken until done

Sweet Sauce:

  1. 1/4 cup each of soy sauce & brown sugar, simmered over low heat until thickened

Rice:

  1. Make rice the day before. We prefer using sticky rice prepared in a rice cooker.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a wok and saute the onion, garlic and chili.
  3. Add the cold rice and the remaining sweet soy sauce, one tablespoon ketchup, one tablespoon oyster sauce (optional) and two tablespoons soy sauce.
  4. Stir until all the rice becomes a rich golden color and is heated through.

To Serve:

  1. Serve in shallow bowls, add rice to each bowl, chicken and garnishes.

Notes

We learned a few things the first time we made this. First, you need to make the rice the day prior. We made it in a rice cooker and then stored on a platter in the refrigerator overnight.

A non-stick wok or large pan is a must! We used our regular wok the first time and because the sauce is sweet, it sticks and burns quikly. I purchased a $5 non-stick wok from Walmart and it worked beautifully!
