Servings: persons

1/2 cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 1/2 inches gingerroot, peeled and grated
1 bunch scallion, half thinly sliced and half cut into 2-inch pieces
3 star anise (optional)
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and halved
salt
1 (10 ounce) box couscous
1 1/4 lbs baby bok choy, halved lengthwise and rinsed

1
In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and ginger; stir in the 2-inch scallion pieces and the star anise, if using. Season the chicken with salt and add to the marinade, turning to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2
Line a footed metal colander with 2 layers of damp cheesecloth, allowing 2 inches of overhang. Place in a pot and add enough water to just reach the colander bottom. Bring to a simmer; have a small pot of boiling water on the side.
3
Pour the couscous into the colander. Place the chicken thighs on top in a single layer, pressing up the sides of the colander, if necessary; reserve the marinade. Cover and steam, adding more hot water as needed until the chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, simmer the reserved marinade until thickened, about 4 minutes; strain.
5
When the chicken is almost done, scatter the bok choy on top, season with salt and steam for 3 minutes. Transfer the bok choy and chicken to a platter, drizzle with the marinade and top with half of the sliced scallions. Stir the remaining scallions into the couscous, season with salt and serve with the chicken.
