Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. • In a small bowl, whisk together half the cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water until smooth. (For 4 servings, use all the cornstarch and 1⁄3 cup water.) Whisk in ponzu, miso sauce concentrate, half the vinegar, 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze, and ½ tsp sugar. (For 4, use all the vinegar, 5 TBSP glaze, and 1 tsp sugar.) TIP: Be sure to measure the sweet soy glaze—we sent more. • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and 2 tsp water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes. (TIP: If needed, add a splash more water to the pan after steaming to help the broccoli soften.) Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is browned and tender, 3-5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside. • Add another drizzle of oil to pan. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• Pour sauce into pan with chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in broccoli and cashews until coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between bowls, top with stir-fry, and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Absolutely incredible. It is so much better than I thought it would be. I've been a chicken and broccoli stir fry fan but the ponzu miso and soy combination really made it taste like it was from a restaurant.
We like the simple to make recipes and this one definitely fits that, only 4 steps! And delicious, the cashews added the extra flavor needed. Loved it!
A winner. I added an extra half cup of jasmine rice because, as usual, you are so damn cheap with your starches it makes no sense to me. This was very tasty. My son hated the cashews but I thought it was great.
My absolute favorite meal!!!! Love everything about it. Chicken is so good and the steamed broccoli was so amazing. I love it cooked that way and the rice was great with it.
Cashews disappeared into the flavors of the stir fry. If we pick a similar recipe in the future, we would pan toast the nuts and add them on top as a garnish. We would also skip the butter in the rice.
Good, but there wasn't enough rice to match the serving of chicken and broccoli. More cashews! Don't be skimpy!
Good quality chicken and the sauce is not overly salty, cashews were fresh
These chicken bowls were flavorful and the crunch of the cashew added that little something I would not have thought to do on my own. Why I love Hello Fresh.
Very satisfying. Love the combination of spices and the jasmine rice.
Good flavor and lots of broccoli! Only recommendation is better quality and quantity of cashews. I ended up purchasing and adding my own.
