In a bowl, prepare the marinade. Combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of lime juice, ginger, ground black pepper, cane sugar, and the chicken. Mix well and let it marinate for one to two hours.
While the chicken marinates, it’s time to cook the red rice. In a saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a rolling boil, then add the rice. Once it reaches a boil, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
In a separate pan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Next, add the frozen peas to the sautéed onions. Cook them together for about 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the peas to warm up and absorb some of the flavors from the onion.
After marinating the chicken, it’s time to add it to the sauté pan. Drain off the marinade and discard it. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook until it’s thoroughly done. About 5 to 7 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, it’s time to add the cooked rice to the pan. Gently toss the mixture together, ensuring the rice is well combined with the chicken and vegetables. This should take about 3 minutes.
Add the remaining lime juice and another tablespoon of soy sauce to the pan. Toss everything together to ensure even coverage.
Finally, serve the dish warm. You can garnish it with additional lime wedges or fresh herbs if you like.
