Sticky Asian chicken thighs are glazed with a sweet, garlic-ginger sauce and served over a veggie-packed green rice in Rach's latest MYOTO (Make Your Own Take Out).

Rach's Tip: Charred shishito or padron peppers sprinkled with flaky sea salt make a fun presentation piled on top of rice for this dish but it's not necessary.

Ingredients

For the Sticky Asian Glaze:
  • ½ cup pourable dark-brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons each Chinese dark soy and light soy sauce, OR about ⅓ cup tamari
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 bunch scallions, whites finely chopped, reserve green tops for garnishing chicken
  • 2 inches ginger root, finely chopped or grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 limes, juiced
For the chicken:
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed (or 4 chicken breasts, halved across and the larger lobe halved horizontally)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola, safflower or olive oil
  • 1 bunch scallion green tops, thinly sliced on bias
  • Toasted sesame seeds, about 3 tablespoons
For the Garlic-Ginger Green Rice:
  • 2 cups chicken broth or water
  • 1 ¼ cups white rice
  • 1 cup packed spinach
  • 2 scallions, coarsely chopped
  • 1 green chili pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced

Yield

Serves: 4 to 6

Preparation

For the glaze, whisk ingredients to combine. (This can be done a day ahead.)

For the chicken, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high to high heat.

Season chicken on both sides and add oil to pan to lightly coat, then brown chicken well, about 3 minutes on each side, remove, add glaze to pan and let simmer at moderate bubble for about 3 minutes, return chicken to pan, and toss to coat in glaze. Top with scallion greens and sesame and serve from skillet.

For the garlic green rice, bring broth or water to boil. Add rice and stir, cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook rice for 15 minutes.

Place the spinach, scallions, chili pepper, garlic, ginger, and lime zest and juice in a food processor. Pulse to finely chop ingredients, then stir into rice at the 15-minute mark, cook 2-3 minutes more, remove from heat and let stand, covered, 2 minutes, then fluff with fork and transfer to a serving dish.
