  1. Pickled Vegetables
  2. In a jar or bowl combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Whisk together and then add in the vegetables. Press the vegetables down into the liquid so that they're covered. Cover with a lid and store in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until ready to use.
  3. Chicken
  4. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and sriracha.
  5. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the ground chicken and season with salt and pepper. Crumble the chicken with a wooden spoon and add in the green onions. Cook until it's nearly cooked through.
  6. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir everything together. Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Add in the lime juice, basil and cilantro and stir together. Remove from the heat and assemble the bowls.
  8. Add a serving of rice to each bowl and top with some of the chicken, pickled vegetables, and sliced mango. Garnish with cilantro and serve with a lime wedge.
