Ingredients

• 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 4 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Rice vinegar
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1 Carrot, julienned
• 1 Cucumber, sliced
• 2 Scallions, sliced
• 2 tsp Sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the marinade by whisking together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour for better flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare your vegetables by julienning the carrot, slicing the cucumber, and chopping the scallions and cilantro. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken, including the marinade.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to coat the chicken nicely. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Divide the cooked rice evenly into four bowls.

Step 7

Top each bowl with hoisin chicken, carrot, cucumber, and scallions.

Step 8

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Hoisin Chicken Rice Bowls!
