# Cooking steps:
01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add chicken pieces and toss thoroughly to coat with marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
04 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, warm water, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined. Adjust consistency with additional water as needed.
05 - Divide coconut rice evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with cooked chicken, shredded carrots, sliced bell pepper, sliced cucumber, and steamed edamame if desired.
06 - Drizzle peanut sauce generously over each bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped roasted peanuts, sliced green onions, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
