Ingredients

4 boneless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 cups cooked white rice

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in the marinade and let them soak for at least 20 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken thighs on both sides until golden and caramelised, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly.
  6. Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the broth. Let it warm through for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve the chicken and broth over bowls of cooked white rice.
  8. Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a leaner option, swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts. However, be sure to monitor closely as breasts can dry out faster.
  • Feel free to add extra vegetables like bok choy, broccoli, or mushrooms to the dish for added nutrients.
  • If you like spice, add red pepper flakes, chopped chili peppers, or a dash of sriracha to the broth.
  • This dish works well with brown rice or quinoa as a substitute for white rice.
  • If you don’t have dark soy sauce, you can use more regular soy sauce with a pinch of sugar for balance.
