Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Drain well.
- In a medium pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
- While rice cooks, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add minced ginger, garlic, and chopped onion; sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
- Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add it to the skillet with chicken mixture. Stir well to combine and heat through.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
For added freshness, serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a squeeze of lime juice to brighten the flavors.
