Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package chicken thighs, cleaned (pargiyot in Israel)
  • 1/3 cup chicken/turkey/vegetable stock
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbs sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic, finely minced(3 cloves)
  • 1 tsp ginger, peeled and finely minced

Serving

  • jasmine rice
  • sprinkle of green onion

Instructions
 

Sauce

  • Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Set aside 1/4 cup of the sauce as marinade and place the rest in a small saucepan.
    One by one, dip each chicken thigh into the marinade, place in a container or plate, and into the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes, or overnight. (a couple hours or overnight is best as the flavour has time to seep into the meat).
  • Set the saucepan with remaining sauce over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Let boil for 3-5 minutes, until thickened slightly(it will get thicker as it sits and cools).
    Once your chicken is finished marinating, heat a frying pan and add the chicken thighs in a single layer. Sear on each side for one minute, lower the heat, and add the sauce the chicken was marinating in. Continue to cook for about another 5 minutes, flipping occasionally to prevent burning. The chicken will turn a beautiful golden brown- when it is cooked through shut off the flame.
  • Working one at a time, lay the chicken thighs on a cutting board and slice them on the diagonal into 1/2 inch thick strips. Keep the shape of the cutlet, slide your knife under the chicken slices and transfer them to a plate.
    Add a scoop of white rice to each plate and sprinkle the top of the rice with thinly sliced green onions.
    Spoon over the hot thickened sauce from the pan, and serve up!
