Caramelized Black Pepper Chicken With Jasmine Rice image

From Food and Wine Magazine. I've never had jasmine rice since Zaar World Wide Tour #6. I am so now digging this stuff! Forgot, if you're 'pepper' intolerant, cut it back. Go the length and garish with cilantro and if you must, sub jasmine rice with white, but you'd be missing out.

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla and add to taste)
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 teaspoon ground pepper
2 Thai chiles, halved (can sub dried red chiles)
1 tablespoon canola oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces (can sub thighs)
cilantro, to garnish
hot cooked jasmine rice

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine sugar, fish sauce, water, vinegar, garlic, ginger, pepper and chiles. Set aside.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat oil over high. Add sugar mixture, shallot and chicken to skillet. Stirring frequently, cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve over jasmine rice.
  • 4/17/2020 NOTE: After making, I believe the recipe needs improvement. Follow as advised, but once the chicken is nearly cooked through, have ready 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water. Add to pan at the last minute and cook for 1 minute or until bubbly with constant stirring. This solution will thicken the sauce nicely. If you're desiring a much deeper brown color, add 1 teaspoon kitchen bouquet before thickening.
