directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring water and rice to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring twice, for 25 minutes. While still warm, stir in soy sauce, peanut butter and sesame oil, followed by peas, carrot and chicken. Stir until sticky.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 450ºF. Add panko to a large plate.
Step 3
Scoop 1/4 cup of rice mixture, roll into balls and crust in panko. Add to a large baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rice and panko.
Step 4
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until panko is crispy and rice is heated through. Serve warm with additional soy sauce for dipping.
