Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water turns clear, removing excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice with water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan, bringing it to a boil. Lower the heat and let it cook for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Allow the rice to rest, covered, for another 5 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Toss in minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced red bell pepper and frozen peas into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the bell pepper is tender and the peas are heated through.
- Gently fold in the diced pineapple and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the skillet, stirring to coat the ingredients evenly.
- Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, gently folding it into the mixture. Adjust the seasoning with salt or pepper as needed.
- Transfer the dish to a serving platter and garnish with finely chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes
