Preparation
  1. Rinse 1.5 cups jasmine rice until water is clear. Simmer with 2.25 cups water for 15-18 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until a thick, glossy orange-pink sauce forms.
  3. Season chicken chunks with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet for 6-8 minutes until golden. Toss with half the sauce.

Notes

Don't overcook the chicken to ensure it stays juicy.
Soak cabbage in ice water for maximum crunch.
