Cook the rice:

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

Prepare the sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Cook the chicken:

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, add to the pan, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Glaze the chicken:

Reduce heat to medium. Pour the Sriracha honey sauce over the chicken. Toss well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

Assemble the bowls:

Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top each with glazed chicken, cucumber slices, carrot, and shredded cabbage.

Garnish:

Sprinkle with spring onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
