- Stir together soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat remaining sesame oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Blot chicken with paper towel to remove moisture on surface. Add chicken pieces to pan and brown on both sides for 4 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium and stir in bell pepper, pea pods and carrots. Cook 5 minutes longer.
- Stir in sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3-4 minutes longer or until sauce has thickened. Serve hot alongside rice garnished with sesame seeds and green onion.
- To Freeze: Cool to room temperature. Transfer rice and sesame lime chicken to freezer safe glass dishes and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator before reheating.

Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
