Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and rice vinegar. Whisk until the brown sugar dissolves completely to create a smooth marinade.
  2. Place the boneless chicken thighs into a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure even coating, then seal or cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken thighs and caramelize for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and sesame oil, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Slice seared chicken thighs and return to the broth, warming through for an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve over cooked rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
