Preparation

Step 1

Peel and crush one clove of garlic. Cut about a large thumb-size piece of ginger. Half it lengthwise, then crush the ginger pieces to release the juices. Pour the soy sauce, brown sugar and water in a large pot. Add the crushed garlic and ginger. Stir and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer for five minutes. Add the chicken thighs, bring to a boil, cover the pot and simmer at medium heat for 30-40 minutes.

During cooking time, turn the chicken over several times until evenly browned. Thinly slice the tops of the green onion. Reserve it as a garnish. Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving bowl. Skim off the grease from the sauce in the pot and discard the garlic and ginger. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with green onions. Serve hot with scoops of steamed white rice.
