Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well.

  2. 2

    Divide the cooked rice between the muffin cups and spray with cooking spray. Using the back of a spoon or a small measuring cup, firmly press the rice into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.

  3. 3

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the rice cups are golden and crisp around the edges.

  4. 4

    While the rice cups bake, make the sauce: in a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and sriracha.

  5. 5

    Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken and cook until thickened and glossy, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and toss to combine.

  7. 7

    Fill each rice cup with the chicken mixture. Garnish with greens and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Creator's notes

Inspired by @Emily. Note: the source recipe adds broccoli and garnishing greens in the instructions without listing amounts in the ingredient list, and only 2 of the 4 tablespoons of water are accounted for in the sauce.
