Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add eggs and cook for 7 minutes, then transfer to ice water.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown chicken chunks on all sides, ~5 minutes total.

  3. Step 3

    Add 4 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Pour soy sauce and vinegar over chicken. Simmer uncovered for 6 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to meat.

  5. Step 5

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in another skillet. Stir-fry remaining 2 cloves minced garlic, then add rice and frozen vegetables. Cook 2 minutes until heated through.

  6. Step 6

    Peel and halve the hard-boiled eggs. Divide garlic rice between bowls, top with adobo chicken, sauce, and egg halves.
