Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in top position. In a small pot, combine rice, 3/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until serving.
2. Trim green beans if needed. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until golden and tender, 12-15 minutes.
3. Thinly slice scallions, separating white and green parts. Peel and mince ginger. In a small bowl, mix sweet soy glaze, honey, 2 tbsp water and Sriracha to taste.
4. Pat chicken dry. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
5. Add scallion whites and ginger to the pan; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the sauce; cook until thickened and chicken is coated and cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Divide rice, green beans and chicken among plates. Garnish with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
