Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (4 pieces) Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tsp minced Fresh ginger
- 4 cloves minced Garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 2 sliced Green onions
- 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prep Work: Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and fresh ginger finely for maximum flavor distribution.
- Create Marinade: Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves completely.
- Marinate Chicken: Add chicken pieces to marinade. Let sit for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally for even coating.
- Cook Chicken: Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes total.
- Create Glaze: Pour remaining marinade into skillet. Simmer until thickened and glossy, approximately 5 minutes.
- Final Assembly: Serve glazed chicken over cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
- Reserve some marinade before adding raw chicken to use for the glaze, ensuring food safety
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking chicken pieces – work in batches if necessary for proper browning
- Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to enhance their nutty flavor before garnishing
- Use day-old rice for better texture – freshly cooked rice can become mushy when mixed with sauce
