A hearty dish featuring tender chicken thighs in a rich garlic ginger broth, served over fluffy jasmine rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water (for rice)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork once done.
  4. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and sauté until caramelised and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and rice vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.
  6. Once simmering, add the cornstarch mixture slowly while stirring to thicken the broth. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
  8. Serve over the cooked jasmine rice and garnish with sliced green onions.

Notes

Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor. You can add vegetables like bok choy or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
