- For added flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in soy sauce and a bit of ginger and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a mix of different mushrooms like shiitake or cremini for a more complex flavor profile.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, ensuring the grains remain separate after cooking.
- Cooking the shallots, garlic, and ginger in the olive oil until they are fragrant and slightly caramelized will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a finely chopped chili or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dish.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves just before serving to add a bright, fresh taste and a pop of color.
