A delightful dish of caramelised chicken thighs in a rich garlic ginger broth served with fluffy jasmine rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce and brown sugar. Place the chicken thighs in the mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
  2. Prepare the rice: While the chicken is marinating, cook jasmine rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  3. Caramelise the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook until browned and caramelized on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Make the broth: In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the reserved marinade and chicken broth, bringing it to a simmer.
  5. Return the chicken: Place the chicken back into the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has absorbed the flavors.
  6. Finish the rice: Stir sesame oil into the cooked jasmine rice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Place rice on a serving dish, top with caramelised soy chicken, ladle some broth over the top, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Letting the chicken marinate for longer will deepen the flavors. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
