Instructions

Rice

  • Instant Pot: Add the rice ingredients to the Instant Pot. Cook on HIGH for 20 minutes. Do a quick release of pressure.
  • Stovetop: Add the rice ingredients to a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed.

Meatballs

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, cilantro, green onion, garlic, soy sauce, and ginger.
  • Form the meatball mixture into balls, about the size of a ping pong ball.
  • Place each meatball on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until slightly golden and cooked through.

Sauce

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a small food processor and blend until pureed. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Assemble

  • Assemble the bowls by adding desired amount of rice, meatballs, and veggies to each bowl. Top with sauce and garnish with additional green onions and cilantro, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
