   – Set aside or chill until ready to serve.

3. Assemble the bowl:
   – Place the carrot ribbons in a bowl.
   – Drizzle with tamari and toss.
   – Add the sliced chicken on top.

Tips

• You can prep the chicken ahead and serve this bowl cold or warm.

• Add avocado, rice, or a soft-boiled egg if you want to make it more filling.

• Adjust tamari to taste — start small and build up.
