Spicy Sesame Sweet Potato Bowl

Prepare the Rice:
2 In a small pan, combine the rice, water, plant-based butter (if using), and salt. Bring to a boil and stir once. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 5-10 minutes before removing the lid.
Start the Aromatics:
5 Heat the neutral cooking oil over medium heat in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes until softened and beginning to brown.
6 Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 45 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the Sweet Potato:
9 Add the diced sweet potato to the skillet and cook, stirring regularly, for 8-10 minutes until the sweet potato begins to soften and caramelize around the edges.
10 Add the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, vegan honey, and sesame oil and stir to coat with the sauce. 
11 Add the water and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. 
12 Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes until the sweet potato softens. Season again to taste with salt and pepper.
To Serve:
15 Divide the rice between bowls and spoon the broth and sweet potatoes on top. Arrange avocado and chili threads on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
