Savory Korean-inspired rice bowls with glazed sesame chicken, crisp cabbage, carrot, cucumber, and a tangy dressing.
Instructions
-
Rinse the rice and prepare the chicken, vegetables, and sauce ingredients.
-
Cook the rice until tender, then keep it covered to steam.
-
Mix the chicken with half of the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and sesame oil, then let it marinate.
-
Heat the neutral oil in a wide pan and cook the chicken until browned and fully cooked.
-
Add the cabbage and carrot to the pan and toss until just tender but still crisp.
-
Whisk the remaining soy sauce with rice vinegar and spoon it over the cucumber.
-
Let the cooked chicken rest before slicing it into bite-size pieces.
-
Divide the rice among bowls and top with chicken, vegetables, cucumber, sesame seeds, and green onions.
Tips
Cook the cabbage only briefly so it stays crisp and balances the tender chicken and rice.
