# How To Make It:
01 - In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chicken pieces and cook, stirring, until golden and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes. Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, white pepper, and lime juice. Toss to coat chicken evenly. Remove from heat.
03 - Blanch sugar snap peas and carrots in boiling water for 1 minute; drain and rinse under cold water to maintain crisp-tender texture. Keep bell pepper raw to preserve crunch.
04 - Divide coconut rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with cooked chicken, bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and carrot in organized layers.
05 - Sprinkle cilantro, Thai basil, green onion, and chili over each bowl. Top with chopped roasted peanuts. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
