Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by whisking together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
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.
While the chicken marinates, prepare your vegetables by julienning the carrot, slicing the cucumber, and chopping the scallions and cilantro. Set aside.
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.
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.
Divide the cooked rice evenly into four bowls.
Top each bowl with hoisin chicken, carrot, cucumber, and scallions.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Hoisin Chicken Rice Bowls!
