    • 2 tablespoons wine or rice vinegar
    • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
    • 1/2 cup tap water, divided

  • Protein

    • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Prepare the sauce mixture by whisking together brown sugar, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, and 1/2 cup of water; set aside.

3

Thinly slice scallions and separate white and light green parts from dark green parts; set aside.

4

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken on both sides with salt and black pepper and cook until golden brown (about 10 minutes on one side and 5 minutes on the other), then set aside and cover loosely.

5

Add ginger, garlic, and reserved white/light green scallion parts to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 3-4 minutes.

6

Whisk together cornstarch and the remaining 1 tablespoon water. Add cornstarch mixture and soy sauce mixture to the skillet, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute.

7

Return the chicken to the skillet, toss to coat with the sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and dark green scallion parts.

8

Serve over white rice.
