Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken thighs in a bowl with soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Boil 2 cups of water, add rice, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Sear the marinated chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Sauté sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger in the same skillet for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  5. Add chicken broth and rice vinegar to the skillet, bring to a simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Return seared chicken thighs to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. If desired, create a cornstarch slurry and stir into the broth, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Serve the rice topped with caramelized chicken and ladle the broth over. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
