Ingredients
  

Sticky Chicken Ingredients
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook jasmine rice by rinsing under cold water, then combining with 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Let sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  3. Prepare the sauce by pouring the reserved marinade into a skillet over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and allow to thicken slightly.
  4. Cook the chicken in a large skillet with vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Pour in the reserved marinade and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Assemble the bowls by placing jasmine rice in each bowl, topping with sticky chicken and sautéed vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
