Step 1

Preheat and Prep • Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring 1¼ cups water and a large pinch of salt to a boil in a medium pot. Peel ginger and mince until you have 1 TBSP. Mince garlic. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Halve lime; cut one half into wedges.

Step 2

Cook Rice • Once water is boiling, add rice to pot. Cover, lower heat, and reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered.

Step 3

Roast Snap Peas • Trim any tough ends or strings from snap peas, then toss with a large drizzle of oil on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven until crisp at edges, 10-12 minutes. Once done, toss snap peas with 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime (we sent more oil and seeds).

Step 4

Cook Chicken • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Add to pan in a single layer and cook until browned but not cooked through, 4-6 minutes, tossing once. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 5

Make Sauce • Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Whisk soy sauce, 2 TBSP sugar, 1 TBSP white wine vinegar, and ½ tsp cornstarch in a small bowl. Put scallion whites, garlic, and ginger in pan and cook, tossing, until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Let thicken slightly, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Finish and Serve • Return chicken to pan and toss to coat. Cook until no longer pink in center, 1-2 minutes. Add a squeeze of lime to rice and fluff with a fork. Divide rice, snap peas, and chicken between plates. Drizzle with any remaining sauce. Garnish to taste with scallion greens and remaining sesame seeds (you may not use all). Serve with lime wedges.
