Sweet and Spicy Chicken Rice Bowls

Rinse White Rice (1 cup) under running water until the water runs clear.

Add the clean rice and Water (1 1/2 cups) to a pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until water has absorbed and rice is soft. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

While the rice is cooking, add Neutral Oil (1 Tbsp) to a pan and saute the Garlic (3 cloves) and the white part of the Scallion (1 bunch). Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat.

Add the Ground Chicken (1 lb) to the pan, season with Salt (1 tsp) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp), and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break it up into small pieces. Cook for 7-10 minutes or until the meat has cooked through and begun to brown. If necessary, drain off any excess liquid.

Add Soy Sauce (2 Tbsp), Sesame Oil (1 Tbsp), Rice Vinegar (1 Tbsp), Chili Garlic Sauce (1 tsp), and Honey (1 Tbsp) to the pan with chicken. Stir well to incorporate. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

To serve, divide rice into bowls and top with the sweet and spicy chicken. Add Cucumber (1), Peanuts (1/4 cup), sliced green scallions, and Fresh Cilantro (2 Tbsp).
