Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big 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, trim green beans if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 12-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
In a small bowl, combine ginger paste, sweet soy glaze, honey, 2 TBSP water (3 TBSP for 4 servings), and Sriracha to taste.
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid; season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Swap in shrimp for chicken.
Once chicken is browned, add scallion whites to pan. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Pour in soy honey sauce. Cook until sauce has thickened and chicken is coated and cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.
Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. TIP: For extra flavor, stir in 1 TBSP butter; 2 TBSP for 4 servings.
Divide rice, green beans, and chicken between plates. Garnish with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
I switched things around. I toasted the sesame seeds, cooked the sides, and then the sauce before ending with the shrimp. I like this meal for its quick and easy prep and it is perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
This meal was delicious and came together pretty fast. I only have one complaint: the serving of green beans was skimpy.
Generous serving of shrimp. Green beans didn't look very fresh and were tough, but shrimp delicious!
We tried this for the first time with shrimp and it was delicious! One of our favorites so far, will definitely make this again, and try it with chicken breasts.
The flavors in this recipe were great. However, I feel that this recipe needs another component, such as a pickled vegetable or cooked egg.
Quick, easy and delicious!! I wanted to lick the plate when I was done! This recipe is a winner!
I am a bit of a wimp, so next time I will adjust the siracha. The flavors were great, it was just the heat and as I said, I am a bit of a wimp, so not asking you to change anything.
Overipe, thick skinned green beans, slightly scant rice and fresh but flavorless shrimp. Sauce, a tad sweet. Fresh cilantro would have been a good touch. BTW, the provided sesame seeds were stale, not tasty. Aim for better.
Good concept, but sauce is very salty, even if watered down, so only takes a little bit of sauce. I added some garlic and mushrooms.
Loved the flavor, but like many meals... this too could use more veggies.
