Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread day-old cooked rice evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili crunch and sea salt to taste. Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  2. Combine boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs with soy sauce, olive oil, curry powder, salt, and any additional pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken, cooking for 5-7 minutes.
  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare a large mixing bowl with coleslaw mix, shelled edamame, and sliced cucumber. Once the chicken is ready, place it on top of the vegetables, followed by the crispy rice.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together creamy peanut butter, honey, toasted sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and optional garlic until smooth. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
  5. Drizzle the peanut sauce over the salad before serving and top with chopped green onions, roasted peanuts, and fresh cilantro.
