A bold and flavorful rice bowl featuring tender chicken glazed in a spicy-sweet sauce, served over steamed rice with fresh vegetables and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (700g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the glaze sauce.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, pour in the glaze sauce, and stir to coat the chicken.
  4. Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan and stir. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice into 4 bowls.
  6. Top each bowl with glazed chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber, and red cabbage.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken breast if preferred.
  • Adjust sriracha amount for more or less heat.
  • Can be made ahead and packed for lunch bowls.
  • Add avocado or a fried egg for extra richness.
