Cooking Steps
-
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 to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
-
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
- While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.
- Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice radishes into rounds. Trim and quarter cucumbers lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Roughly chop cilantro.
- Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and starting to brown, 30-60 seconds.
-
Add chicken to pot and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned, 2 minutes.
- Stir ponzu, ginger paste, stock concentrate, and ⅓ cup water (⅔ cup for 4 servings) into pot with chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have melded and chicken is cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat; taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- While stew simmers, in a medium microwafe-safe bowl, combine radishes, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt (2 tsp sugar and 2 tsp salt for 4 servings). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until radishes are tender, 1-2 minutes.
- Uncover and stir in cucumbers.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings).
- Divide rice and stew between bowls in separate sections. Top everything with cilantro and drizzle with as much Sriracha as you like. Serve with pickled radishes and cucumbers on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Mar 2026- Flavor: Many loved the savory ponzu-ginger broth, though some found the ginger overpowering. Adjust to taste 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with lots of chopping involved. Consider prepping veggies ahead for a smoother cooking experience.
- Suggestions: Try adding more broth for a soupier consistency, or use fresh ginger instead of paste for milder flavor.
- Portions: Some wanted more chicken and less rice; others found too much pickled veggie salad compared to main dish.
- Veggies: The pickled radish and cucumber side was divisive; consider reducing vinegar or substituting with lime juice.
