Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice, coconut milk, and water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet.
  • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar into the skillet. Stir well and simmer until the sauce thickens.
  • Add sliced red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and shredded carrots to the sauce. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Return cooked chicken to the skillet, stir to coat with sauce and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until heated through.
  • Fluff the coconut rice and divide among serving bowls. Top with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Rinse jasmine rice thoroughly to ensure fluffiness. Adjust seasoning to taste.
