Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 green onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 4 cups brown or white rice (you can use minute rice)
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix (about 9 ounces)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 cups frozen shelled edamame, thawed

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing the dressing. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced ginger, and half of the toasted sesame seeds. This dressing is the heart of your bowl, providing a balance of flavors that will tie everything together.
  2. Next, cook the rice according to the package directions. Whether you choose brown or white rice, ensure it’s fluffy and perfectly cooked. If you’re in a hurry, you can use instant rice for a quicker option.
  3. Once the rice is cooked, divide it among four bowls. Make sure each bowl has a generous portion of rice, as this will serve as the base for your toppings.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and shredded rotisserie chicken. Drizzle half of the dressing over the mixture and toss until everything is well coated. This step adds moisture and flavor to the ingredients.
  5. Now, it’s time to assemble the bowls. Take the slaw and chicken mixture and serve it over the rice in each bowl. This colorful mix will look inviting and delicious.
  6. Next, sprinkle the frozen shelled edamame over the top of each bowl. The green peas not only add color but also a nice texture that complements the other ingredients.
  7. Finally, drizzle the remaining dressing over each bowl. This adds an extra burst of flavor and ensures that every bite is as tasty as the last.
  8. Garnish the bowls with the remaining toasted sesame seeds and minced green onion for added flavor and presentation.
  9. Enjoy your Easy Asian Chicken Rice Bowl either cold or warm. It’s perfect for any occasion!
