Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the chicken thighs and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Sear the chicken thighs for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, pour in the reserved marinade, chicken broth, water, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot and let them cook for 25-30 minutes until tender, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. Prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions in a separate pot.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and slice. Serve over jasmine rice with garlic ginger broth and garnish with green onions and cilantro.
