Step 3: Toss the Cooked Chicken with Sauce
Step 4: Prepare Your Bowl Components
Step 5: Assemble Your Bang Bang Chicken Bowls
Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Notes

To keep your meal prep fresh and appealing, store the sauced chicken separately from the cooked brown rice or quinoa, and pack the crisp vegetables (cucumber, carrots, red bell pepper) in their own container until you're ready to assemble your bowl.
Gently warm the chicken and grain components in the microwave, adding a tiny splash of water or chicken broth if needed to maintain moisture, then combine with your fresh, cool veggies and garnishes right before eating.
For an extra burst of freshness and zing, consider finishing your assembled bowl with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice alongside the toasted sesame seeds and green onions.
To truly master your Bang Bang sauce, taste and adjust the Sriracha/gochujang and honey until it perfectly hits your preferred sweet-spicy equilibrium before tossing it with the chicken.
