Instructions
- To a medium bowl, add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- To a large skillet, add the olive oil, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Stir and flip chicken frequently to ensure even cooking.
- After chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, and add the sauce. Careful as it will bubble up when you add it. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, tossing and flipping the chicken in the sauce to coat evenly. Take the skillet off the heat and allow the chicken to rest momentarily in the skillet while you prep the bowls.
- Divide the cooked rice among 4 bowls and then top with the chicken. Tip - You can use traditional cooked rice of any type (jasmine, brown, basmati, etc.) or Minute style rice, but I am a fan of the Uncle Ben's precooked rice packets because they are quick, easy, and the rice turns out just fine for this use.
- Evenly divide the remaining ingredients between all the bowls: the cooked chicken, edamame, cucumber, carrots, cilantro. And top or garnish with optional pickled red onions, lime wedges, sriracha mayo (1/4 cup mayo + 1 teaspoon or as desired of sriracha whisked together), sesame seeds, red pepper flakes. If desired, you can also add salt and pepper, as desired to taste. The sodium in the soy/hoisin sauces may or may not be enough for everyone's preferences for salt.
- Serve immediately. Bowls are best served when the chicken and rice are warm, and everything else is cool and crisp.
- Storage - Leftovers should be stored in airtight containers so that the chicken and rice are together, and all the veggies are separate in another container for up to 4-5 days in the fridge. Reheat the chicken and rice for about 30-seconds in the microwave before serving the leftovers, and top with the veggies and garnishes as desired.
