Ingredients
- 1½ cup jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ¾ cup chopped white onion (one onion)
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 2½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Instructions
- Bring 3 cups of water or chicken stock to a boil. Add 1½ cup rice and a tablespoon of butter and add a lid. Allow the rice to cook on medium low heat until the water is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in the skillet on medium high heat. Add the ground chicken (as well as some salt and pepper to season) and cook through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Chop it into small bits and stir occasionally as it cooks. Drain the grease.
- Add chopped onions, garlic and ginger and allow the mixture to simmer about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Make the sauce by whisking the Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and rice. Pour it over the chicken and onions and allow it to cook another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Finally, add most of your scallions, reserving some for garnish. Add chopped water chestnuts and cook another minute.
- To serve, place a scoop of rice in a bowl and top with a scoop of hoisin ground chicken. Garnish the rice bowl with scallions and sesame seeds.
