A comforting dish of caramelized chicken in a savory, garlicky ginger broth served over jasmine rice, perfect for family dinners or a cozy night in.

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 (for thickening)
  • 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 lightly season them with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and brown sugar. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they’re fully coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork afterward.
  4. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and rice vinegar. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer.
  6. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture while stirring to thicken the broth. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
  8. Bowl up the caramelized chicken and broth over your fluffy jasmine rice.
  9. Top with sliced green onions for freshness and an extra flavor kick.

Notes

Feel free to swap the jasmine rice for basmati or quinoa. For added nutrition, include vegetables in the broth or adjust with spicy elements if desired.
