About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 4 piece chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 3 clove garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp MSG
- 1 cup long‑grain rice
- 2 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup peas
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 spring onions
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
Instructions
- 1Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and MSG (if using). Stir well.
- 2Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, coat them thoroughly with the marinade, and let them sit for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
- 3Dice the carrots, chop the broccoli into small florets, and have the frozen peas ready. Slice the spring onions and set aside for garnish.
- 4Heat neutral oil in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium‑high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the liquid, and sear the thighs for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- 5In the same pan, add the uncooked rice. Toast the rice for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes lightly golden and fragrant.
- 6Deglaze the pan by pouring in the reserved marinade and the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add an extra splash of rice wine vinegar for additional tang.
- 7Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then nestle the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice. Distribute the diced carrots and broccoli florets around the chicken.
- 8Cover the pan with a tight‑fitting lid or foil, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes.
- 9After 15 minutes, stir in the frozen peas, re‑cover, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender, the vegetables are cooked through, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 167°F (165°F).
- 10Remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced spring onions over the dish.
- 11Let the dish rest, covered, for 2 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
