In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil, add lentils, reduce heat, and let simmer uncovered for 25 minutes or until tender. Drain any excess water. While the lentils cook, combine 0.5 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this to the teriyaki sauce and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Once the lentils are cooked and drained, transfer them to a frying pan. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the lentils and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the lentils are well coated and glazed. Prepare the spicy mayo by combining 0.25 cup of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce. Mix well and set aside. Divide 2 cups of cooked brown rice among 4 bowls. Top each with a portion of the teriyaki glazed lentils.
