        Assemble the Bowl: In a bowl, start by placing a generous scoop of cooked jasmine rice at the bottom.

          Layer with Veggies: Arrange shredded purple cabbage and carrots on top of the rice. Add slices of avocado and sprinkle with green onions and cilantro.

            Add Chicken: Place the sliced chicken on top of the vegetables in the bowl.

              Drizzle Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and the veggies.

                Top it Off: Finish with a sprinkle of crushed crispy wontons for added crunch.
