Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 pieces boneless chicken thighs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients for a smooth cooking process.
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and rice vinegar. Add chicken thighs and ensure they’re well-coated; let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, around 2 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Sear on each side until browned, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Pour in the chicken broth and reserved marinade. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Stir in sesame oil for a delicious finish and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the chicken over white rice, ladle the rich broth on top, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for longer, up to 2 hours. Adjust sweetness based on preference.
