Ingredients
- 2 large carrots, cut into thin matchstick (Julienne) slices
- 2 medium zucchinis, cut into thin matchstick (Julienne) slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 250g chicken breast, cut into 1 cm cubes
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 200g cup white Jasmine rice, rinsed and drained
- 500 ml of dashi, vegetable or chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- On a baking sheet, mix together carrots, zucchinis, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.

- Turn off the heat and stir in soy sauce and roasted vegetables.
- In the same skillet, fry eggs sunny-side up or over easy.
