Put the soy sauce, honey/agave, five-spice powder, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Cut the chicken into cubes and add it, mix well and set aside.
Cook the rice as instructed on the package, rinse with cold water, and let it drain well.
Cut the onion into pieces and finely chop the garlic, peel the carrot, slice it thinly, and then cut it into fine strips, wash the leek and cut it into fine strips as well. Cut the cucumber in half, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and cut it into thick sticks.
Heat the peanut oil in a large pot with garlic, onion, and ginger and sautรฉ briefly, then add the chicken and brown it nicely, cooking for about 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Then add the vegetables and rice, mix well and add the remaining soy sauce from the marinated chicken, let it cook for a few minutes, cover with a lid so the vegetables can cook but still remain crunchy, squeeze half of the lime over it, serving the other half on the plate.
Tips
Always finish with some spring onion, chopped peanuts and lime. If you want a vegetarian variant, replace the chicken with mushrooms of your choice, then let them marinate in soy-five spices herb mixture.
