Notes
Chicken breast gives a lean and tender result, while chicken thighs or shrimp can also be used.
Fresh broccoli offers the best texture, though frozen broccoli works if thawed slightly before cooking.
Quinoa is sturdy and absorbs flavor well, but brown rice is a good alternative.
Adjust the heat level by using less sriracha or omitting it.
These bowls store well and maintain great texture when reheated.
