Preparation
- Prepare brown rice according to package directions. Reserve water when cooking is completed. Set cooked rice aside.
- Return rice cooking water to a boil. One bunch at a time, blanch vegetables for 1 -2 minutes each. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare sauce. Combine soy sauce, chili sauce, chili paste, sorghum syrup, Sriracha, rice wine vinegar, Mirin, fresh lime juice, sesame oil, fresh ginger, cumin and minced garlic. Stir in the red pepper flakes for extra heat if you prefer. Whisk well. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown, 2 -3 minutes. If using fresh chicken, you will need to cook the chicken until done.
- Pour sauce over chicken and stir well to combine. Reduce heat and stir in cooked rice. Remove from heat.
- Divide rice and chicken into four bowls. Stir in peanuts.
- Divide vegetables evenly among the bowls and garnish each with green onions, toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro as you prefer.
