Ingredients

• 2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.75 cup Soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 medium Carrots, sliced into thin matchsticks
• 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Purple cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
• 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
• 2 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and place the chicken thighs in the skillet.

Step 4

Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and return the chicken to the skillet.

Step 6

Simmer the chicken in the marinade for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Heat a separate skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of sesame oil.

Step 8

Add the carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, and snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp and vibrant.

Step 9

To serve, place a bed of cooked jasmine rice on each plate. Top with a piece of shoyu chicken and spoon some sauce over the chicken and rice.

Step 10

Arrange the stir-fried vegetables around the chicken and sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish. Enjoy your colorful and delicious Rainbow S Shoyu Chicken!
