Instructions

1
Rinse the rice in a medium saucepan under cold water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain. Add 2 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 18 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, combine the soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a medium bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Add the sliced chicken thighs, toss to coat, and let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
