Prep and Cook Rice
1

Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Core, deseed, and thinly slice bell and green peppers. Halve lime, cutting one half into wedges. Bring 1 cup water and a pinch of salt to boil in a small pot. Once boiling, stir in rice. Lower heat to a gentle simmer and cover. Cook until tender, 12-14 minutes. Keep covered off heat until you’re ready to pack lunch.

In a medium bowl, combine juice from lime half and ½ tsp sugar. Stir in half the scallion whites and a quarter of the cabbage. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside, tossing every now and then. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and sriracha (to taste). Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture has a drizzling consistency.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt, pepper, and moo shu spice. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (use a nonstick pan if you have one). Add chicken and cook, stirring, until browned and cooked through, 4-7 minutes. Turn off heat; remove chicken from pan and set aside. Wipe out pan with paper towels.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add bell and green peppers. Cook, tossing, until softened, 3-5 minutes. Toss in remaining scallion whites and cook 1 minute more.

Heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat.

Wrap tortillas in a moist paper towel. Microwave on high until warm, about 1 minute. Fill tortillas with bulgogi chicken. Garnish with slaw, then drizzle with crema and any leftover sriracha (to taste). Garnish with half the scallion greens. Serve with remaining lime wedges.
