Method
 

Preparation and Cooking Steps
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a sturdy pot over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Flip the chicken thighs to skin-side up. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger; coat the chicken well.
  4. Pour in enough chicken broth to cover the chicken completely. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
  5. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water. In a separate pot, combine rinsed rice with water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes.
  6. To thicken broth (optional), mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth and stir it into the simmering broth, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  7. Slice the cooked chicken thighs and serve over jasmine rice. Ladle warm garlic ginger broth over the top.
