- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup dried kelp
- 1/4 cup grated carrots

##################################
Instructions:
1. Rinse the rice and add it to a small pot with 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber, grate the carrots, and soak the dried kelp in cold water for 5 minutes.
3. Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
5. Once the rice is cooked, divide it between two bowls. Top each bowl with half of the cucumber, carrots, kelp, tofu, and chicken.
6. Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over each bowl and serve immediately.
