17 - 2 spring onions, sliced

# Directions:

01 - Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
02 - Whisk together Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
04 - Reduce heat to medium. Pour the prepared Sriracha honey sauce over the chicken. Toss to coat thoroughly and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.
05 - Divide the cooked rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with the glazed chicken, cucumber slices, julienned carrot, and shredded red cabbage.
06 - Sprinkle spring onions and sesame seeds over each bowl. Add cilantro leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
