Rice Preparation
  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions and keep it warm.
Crispy Aromatics

Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms
  1. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced green onions and minced ginger until fragrant, then add the mushrooms. Cook until tender.
Prepare Broth
  1. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the miso paste and soy sauce. Allow to simmer gently.
Crisp Chicken
  1. Dredge the marinated chicken thighs in cornstarch and pan-sear in a clean skillet until crisp and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Cook Bok Choy
  1. Add bok choy to the skillet and sauté for a couple of minutes until tender.
Assemble Bowls
