Description
Tender caramelised soy chicken served in a deeply fragrant garlic-ginger broth over warm rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- 1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, and honey. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat; let marinate for 10 minutes.
- 2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and beginning to caramelise on both sides.
- 3. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4. Pour in chicken broth and rice vinegar, stirring to dissolve any browned bits.
- 5. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8–10 minutes until the broth slightly reduces and the chicken becomes tender.
- 6. Stir in chili flakes if using, then add sliced green onions.
- 7. Serve chicken and broth over warm jasmine rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a deeper caramelised flavor, allow the chicken to brown fully before adding broth.
- This dish pairs beautifully with steamed bok choy or sautéed greens.
