Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  2. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  5. Serve the sticky chicken over cooked jasmine rice. Top with chopped green onions, shredded carrots, and sesame seeds.
