Preparation Steps
- Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and brown sugar to create a marinade. Add the seasoned chicken to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then add the rinsed rice. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until caramelized.
- Pour in the chicken broth and a splash of rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly add this to the simmering broth, stirring continuously. Let simmer for another 5 minutes until thickened.
- Taste broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Simmer for a couple more minutes.
- Ladle the caramelized chicken and broth over the jasmine rice in bowls, and garnish with freshly sliced green onions.

Notes
Ensure to marinate the chicken for exactly 10 minutes and rinse the rice well for perfect fluffiness.
