Instructions
- 1. To make the stir fry sauce. In small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and 1/2 cup water. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes or until browned all over and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate. 3.

Reduce the heat to low and add the stir fry sauce, noodles or rice, and chicken, tossing to combine. Cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to coat the chicken. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. 5. Divide the stir fry between bowls and garnish with pomegranate. Eat!
