Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
For the Yum Yum Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the Yum Yum sauce. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the chicken.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Pour this sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Top with the spicy honey ginger chicken, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots. Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
