Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and brown sugar. Marinate the chicken for about 10 minutes.
  3. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes.
  4. In a large pot, heat oil and add the marinated chicken. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until caramelised and golden brown.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and rice vinegar, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Slowly add to the simmering broth while stirring. Continue cooking for 5 minutes.
  7. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  8. Serve with a portion of jasmine rice, ladle the chicken and broth over it, and garnish with green onions.

Marinate chicken longer for deeper flavor. Use fresh garlic and ginger for maximum impact. Can add quick-cooking veggies like bok choy during the simmer for extra nutrition.
