Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix together cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken thighs in the mixture until well coated.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

        Assemble the Bowl: In each serving bowl, add a base of jasmine rice. Top with sliced chicken, cucumber, shredded carrots, and bell pepper slices.

          Finish with Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the bang bang sauce generously over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
