Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium-sized pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the plant-based chicken chunks according to the package instructions (usually involves pan-frying or baking). Set aside once cooked.
Wash and thinly slice the cucumber, carrot, and radishes. For the carrot, it's best to julienne or use a vegetable peeler for thin ribbons.
Shell the edamame if not already done. You can purchase precooked edamame to save time.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into thin wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and maple syrup to create the poke sauce.
Once the rice is cooked, divide it evenly among four bowls as the base.
Arrange the cooked plant-based chicken, cucumber, carrot, radishes, edamame, and avocado attractively on top of the rice in each bowl.
Drizzle the poke sauce over the assembled ingredients in each bowl.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and garnish with sliced scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful Vegetarian Chicken Poke Bowl!
