Step-by-Step Instructions for Caramelised Soy Chicken
- Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar until blended. Coat the chicken pieces in this marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then add the rinsed rice. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Heat a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Add the marinated chicken pieces and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until caramelised and cooked through.
- Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer.
- In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually stir this into the simmering broth. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Taste the broth and adjust seasoning by adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork and serve it onto plates. Ladle the chicken and broth over the rice.
- Sprinkle sliced green onions on top for a fresh crunch and pop of color.
