Cooking Steps
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 10 minutes to become fluffy.
- While the rice is resting, season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté over medium heat for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in soy sauce and fish sauce, followed by brown sugar. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer for thickening.
- Add sliced red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and shredded carrots to the sauce. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss gently in the sauce, heating through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Fluff the coconut rice and divide among serving bowls. Top with the coconut chicken and sautéed vegetables.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
