Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and dark soy sauce. Stir well until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken thighs. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and previously prepared sauce to the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer and return the chicken. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Stir in the rice vinegar and sesame oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Spoon cooked rice into serving bowls. Ladle the Soy Chicken in Garlic Ginger Broth over the rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
