Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Season bone-in chicken thighs with salt, sugar (optional), soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Set aside.
  2. Prepare Broth: Combine water, kombu (or MSG), salt, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to make the broth.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat neutral oil in a cold pan over medium heat. Place chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing and rotating occasionally to brown evenly. Remove about half of the rendered fat, reserving if desired.
  4. Add Aromatics: Add garlic, ginger, and black pepper to the pan. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add Rice and Broth: Add jasmine rice and pour in the prepared broth.
  6. Cook Rice and Chicken: Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cook covered for 14 minutes.
  7. Rest: Turn off heat and leave the pot on the stove for 15 minutes to allow residual heat to finish cooking.
  8. Serve: Optionally add sriracha sauce for spice and serve hot.
