Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and brown sugar in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and coat thoroughly. Marinate for 10 minutes.

Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan, add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and sauté until caramelized and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
05 -
Pour chicken broth and rice vinegar into the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
06 -
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously. Simmer for 5 more minutes until broth thickens.

Taste broth and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
08 -
Serve caramelized chicken and broth over the jasmine rice.
09 -
Top with sliced green onions to finish.
