Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Substitution: Opt for chicken breast if you're seeking a leaner alternative.
For the Broth
  • 0.5 cup Soy Sauce Tip: Choose reduced-sodium soy sauce for a lighter taste.
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar Adjust to your taste for preferred sweetness.
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced) Freshly minced garlic yields the best flavor.
  • 2 tsp Fresh Ginger (minced or grated) Substitution: Ginger paste works well too.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Alternative: Vegetable broth can transform this into a vegetarian delight.
  • 1 piece Onion (finely chopped)
For Serving
  • 1 cup Rice (jasmine or basmati) Rinse under cold water until clear to optimize texture.
  • Green Onions (for garnish) Adds freshness and color.
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil Optional, but it elevates the overall flavor.
  • Vegetables (optional, such as bok choy or spinach) Add just before serving for a fresh touch.

Equipment

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing 1 cup of jasmine or basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  2. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add boneless, skinless chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.
  4. Stir in 1 finely chopped onion, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 teaspoons of minced fresh ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent.
  5. Pour in 0.5 cup of soy sauce and stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
