Spicy Honey-Ginger Chicken Bowls with Yum Yum Sauce


  • Author: Chef Lalybeth

Description

Tender, pan-seared chicken glazed in a sweet and spicy honey-ginger sauce, served over fluffy rice with crisp vegetables and a creamy, tangy yum yum sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 12 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Make the Yum Yum Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, tomato paste, melted butter, paprika, and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, half of the grated ginger, and half of the minced garlic. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Make the Glaze: In another small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, and the remaining ginger and garlic.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
  5. Glaze the Chicken: Pour the honey-ginger glaze over the cooked chicken. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with the glazed chicken, shredded cabbage, and sliced cucumber. Drizzle with yum yum sauce and garnish with green onions.
