Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrots, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion softens and the carrots begin to turn tender.

Add the chicken to the pan and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Stir everything together and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes so the chicken and vegetables are evenly combined and lightly browned.

Add the cooked rice and bean sprouts. Pour in the ponzu sauce and toss well, breaking up any clumps of rice. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until the rice is heated through and evenly coated.
