Ingredients

For the Peanut Sauce

  • 1/4 cup salted all-natural peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 2-4 Tbsp water

For the Bowl

  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice
  • 6 cup shredded vegetables including carrots, Napa cabbage or a mix of Green, Savoy and/or Red cabbage
  • 2 cup shredded roast chicken
  • 2 Persian cucumbers
  • 3 scallions

Instructions

To make the Peanut Sauce

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, fish sauce, sweet chili sauce and grater ginger.
  • Add two tablespoons of water and whisk to make a creamy sauce consistency.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add up to two additional tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is your desired thickness.
  • Let the sauce rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. (Can be made a day in advance.)
  • Whisk the sauce just before adding it to the bowl.

To make the Bowl

  • Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  • While the rice is cooking, halve the cucumbers lengthwise and slice into thin half moons.
  • Slice the scallions into thin rounds.
  • When the rice is cooked, divide between six large serving bowls.
  • Top the rice with the cabbage.
  • Sprinkle with the cucumber slices and scallions and top with the shredded chicken.
  • Drizzle each bowl with a generous serving of the peanut sauce and serve.
