step 1

Make the slaw. Stir Red Cabbage (2 cups), Rainbow Carrots (2 cups), Red Onion (1/2), Lime (1), Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp), and Rice Vinegar (1 Tbsp) together thoroughly in a bowl. Set it aside to let the flavors marry and the liquids wilt the veggies a little while you make everything else

step 2

Start on the rice. Melt the Butter (4 Tbsp) in a medium sauce pan, then add the Long Grain White Rice (1 cup) to toast it for just a couple of minutes.

step 3

Pour in the Chicken Stock (1 1/2 cups) and let it come to a gentle boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.

step 4

Let the rice cook until tender for about 15 to 20 minutes. When it is done, stir in the Scallion (1/2 cup) and let them get fragrant in the hot rice.

step 5

While the rice cooks, make the chicken. Heat the Sesame Oil (1 dash) in a large skillet with deep sides over medium high heat.

step 6

Add Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (1.5 lb) and let them cook for a couple of minutes, until they start to become white.

step 7

Add in the Fresh Ginger (1 Tbsp) and Garlic (2 cloves) and let them become fragrant for a couple of minutes.

step 8

Finally, pour in the Soy Sauce (1/3 cup), Dark Brown Sugar (4 Tbsp), and Honey (2 Tbsp). Let the mixture gently boil for 10-15 minutes until it is a thick glaze that lovingly coats the chicken.

step 9

Warm up the White Corn Tortillas (12) however you like best. Scoop a generous spoonful of the rice on each tortilla, then scoop a spoonful of the chicken on top of the rice.

step 10

Sprinkle the chicken with Sesame Seeds (to taste) then pile a small mound of the slaw on the very top. Serve immediately and enjoy! If you keep all of the components stored in airtight containers separately, they also make great leftovers.
