When rice has cooked for 12 minutes, add corn and edamame beans to pot and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, until rice is cooked and vegetables are tender. Drain, rinse with cold water and leave to drain well. Add to bowl with vegetables, along with lime ponzu dressing, sesame oil and vinegar, toss to combine and season to taste.
-
While rice is cooking, pat chicken dry, place in a medium bowl, season with pepper and mix with all remaining gai yang chicken ingredients. Heat a large, dry fry-pan (preferably non-stick) on medium heat and cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through.
