# How-To:
01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
02 - In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 - In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, water, ginger, and garlic until smooth. Adjust consistency with additional water if needed to reach desired thickness.
05 - Divide coconut rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with cooked chicken, shredded carrots, sliced bell pepper, cucumber slices, and steamed edamame if using.
06 - Drizzle peanut sauce generously over each bowl. Garnish with cilantro, chopped peanuts, green onions, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
