Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth and slightly thickened.
  2. Place chicken thighs into a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear marinated chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes on each side until caramelized and golden brown. Set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and sesame oil, scraping up any brown bits, and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Slice seared chicken into thin strips and add back to the broth, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve over white rice, garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
