HONEY MISO CHICKEN WITH BROTHY GINGER RICE
Ingredients
For The Rice
2 cups / 400 g jasmine rice
10.5 g / 2 tsp ginger, grated
3 cloves / 15 g garlic, crushed
For The Chicken
1,140 g / 2 lb 8 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
4 tbsp / 60 ml soy sauce
2 tbsp / 30 g miso paste
2 tbsp / 30 ml hot sesame oil
2 tbsp / 30 ml hot honey
2 tbsp / 30 ml rice wine vinegar
5 cloves / 25 g garlic, crushed
For The Broth
5 cloves / 25 g garlic
4 stalks / 60 g scallion
1 tbsp / 10 g peppercorns
Method
Broth: Simmer together all broth ingredients in a pot with the lid on.
Marinade: Mix together all chicken marinade ingredients until smooth, add the chicken, and toss until all coated.
Chicken: Fry the chicken in a pan on medium heat on both sides until golden. Keep pouring in the remaining marinade to make it sticky and saucey.
Rice: Add all rice ingredients to a pot and simmer on low heat until the water has evaporated and the rice is cooked and fluffy.
Serve: Serve and enjoy.
Additional Notes
I added the honey to the chicken, and as you can see, it burned. You can add the honey afterward to prevent this, but I just did things the way I felt was quickest.
I added miso butter to the rice, which I made myself. I would be surprised if you had that on hand, so just use regular butter, add some miso paste along with the butter, or simply cook the rice without it.
