How to use this list

When cooking, begin with the chicken thighs, marinate them in soy sauce, cane vinegar, crushed garlic cloves, bay leaves, whole black peppercorns, and a bit of brown sugar.

Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t substitute bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with boneless cuts if you want authentic flavor and texture. Avoid using white vinegar in place of cane vinegar—the taste will be too sharp. Skipping garlic or using too little will leave the dish flat. Don’t forget the brown sugar; it balances the acidity. For the rice, jasmine is preferred—other varieties may turn out sticky or bland.
