Preparation Steps
  1. Marinate the Chicken by combining soy sauce, brown sugar, and seasonings in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Rice by rinsing jasmine rice under cool water. In a saucepan, bring water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Add rice, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Sear the Chicken in a skillet with heated vegetable oil, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Sauté Aromatics by adding sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Create the Broth by adding chicken broth and rice vinegar to the skillet. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Combine Chicken and Broth by returning seared chicken to the skillet, simmering for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Thicken the Broth by mixing cornstarch with water and stirring into the broth, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Serve by fluffing the jasmine rice and placing it on plates. Top with chicken and ladle broth over the top. Optionally garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
