Description

Tender chicken thighs, jasmine rice, spinach, and scallions served in a quick, savory ginger-miso broth.


Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups jasmine rice

2 tablespoons white miso paste

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon honey

Black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon neutral oil

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

3 garlic cloves, minced

4 packed cups baby spinach

3 scallions, thinly sliced

Toasted sesame seeds, optional

Chili crisp, optional


Instructions

1. Cook jasmine rice according to package directions.

2. Whisk miso with 1/2 cup warm broth until smooth.

3. Toss chicken with soy sauce, honey, and black pepper.

4. Brown chicken in oil over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.

5. Cook ginger and garlic for 30 seconds.

6. Add remaining broth, scraping up browned bits, and simmer gently.

7. Lower heat; stir in dissolved miso, return chicken, and warm through.

8. Wilt spinach in the broth. Serve over rice with scallions, sesame seeds, and chili crisp.


Notes

Use white miso for a mild flavor.

Store rice separately from broth for the best leftover texture.

Cook chicken to 165°F.
