Our take on this Japanese-American favorite highlights the sweet and savory sauce we’re using to glaze plump shrimp, which is made with traditional ingredients like soy sauce, vinegar, and more. We’re serving it with crisp green beans sautéed with fragrant sesame oil and a bit of crushed red pepper for a kick of heat.

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. In a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, soy glaze, vinegar, and honey (kneading the packet before opening).
Wash and dry the green beans; cut off and discard any stem ends. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat half the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the green beans and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Add 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the green beans are softened and the water has cooked off. Transfer to a plate. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. In the same pan, heat the remaining sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the chicken is coated and cooked through. Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked rice topped with the cooked chicken and sauce and cooked green beans. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
