Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Rice
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice and water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
- In a wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in toasted sesame seeds and remove from heat.
Blanch the Green Beans
- In a separate pot of boiling water, add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.
Serve
- Fluff the rice with a fork and divide among serving plates. Top with sesame chicken and green beans. Garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired.

Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
