Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.
-
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
-
While rice cooks, trim and peel carrot. Using peeler, shave carrot lengthwise into ribbons, rotating as you go, until you get to the core; discard core. Trim and thinly slice radishes. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
-
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine carrot ribbons, radishes, vinegar, ¼ cup water, 2 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (½ cup water and 4 tsp sugar for 4 servings).
-
Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes; set aside to cool.
-
In a small bowl, combine lemongrass puree, sweet soy glaze, half the ginger paste, and 1 TBSP water (all the ginger paste and 2 TBSP water for 4 servings).
-
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; dice into ½-inch pieces.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and scallion whites; cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
-
Add lemongrass sauce and cook until sauce has thickened and chicken is coated, 1-2 minutes.
-
Fluff rice with a fork; stir in crispy fried onions.
-
In a second small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, chili sauce, 2 TBSP warm water, and 2 tsp veggie pickling liquid (4 TBSP warm water and 4 tsp veggie pickling liquid for 4 servings).
-
Spoon rice into bowls. Top with chicken and pickled vegetables (draining first). Drizzle with peanut sauce and garnish with scallion greens. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: Many loved the lemongrass and ginger combination, though some found the peanut sauce overpowering or too sweet.
- Ease of prep: Most found it easy to make, but shaving carrot ribbons proved challenging for several home cooks.
- Suggestions: Use peanut sauce sparingly as it's very rich; consider adding coconut milk to enhance the sauces.
- Portions: There's plenty of peanut sauce, so start with less and add more to taste.
