Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using raw rice, start cooking it first.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add water until you reach a pourable consistency.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 3 minutes. Stir and continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes until fully cooked.
  5. In the same skillet, add vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Assemble bowls by dividing rice among four bowls. Top with cooked vegetables, chicken, and cucumber strips. Drizzle with peanut sauce and garnish.
