Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse chicken thighs under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Place chicken pieces in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together white vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, crushed peppercorns, bay leaves, and 1/4 cup of water.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly.
  5. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. While chicken marinates, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  7. Sauté chopped onions until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside.
  8. Bring the pot of chicken and marinade to a boil over medium-high heat.
  9. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  10. Add sliced mushrooms and the remaining 3/4 cup of water to the pot.
  11. Return to a boil, then reduce heat again and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until chicken is tender and sauce has thickened slightly.
  12. Stir in the sautéed onions.
  13. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
  14. Serve hot over steamed rice, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
