Creating the Japanese-Inspired Chicken Rice Bowl with Sesame Ginger is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Rice: Cook the jasmine or sushi rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. Stir-fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a splash of sesame oil if needed and stir-fry the mixed vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
5. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it into bite-sized pieces.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of rice, add the stir-fried vegetables, and top with the sliced chicken.
7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
