Ingredients
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1/3 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, cooked and fluffed
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup diced red onion, pickled
1 cup mixed greens or spinach
2 green onions, sliced
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 limes, cut into wedges
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking chicken)
Instructions
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade/stir-fry sauce.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the chicken, stir to coat, and cook 2-3 more minutes until bubbling and slightly thickened.
Assemble bowls: Layer cooked rice, top with chicken mixture, corn, carrots, pickled onion, greens, green onions, and cilantro.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
Notes
Use pre-cooked rice from a rice cooker or instant pot to save time
