1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and coat them in cornstarch.
2
Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3
Make the Sauce
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes until combined.
4
Combine Everything
In the same skillet, add the sauce to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the fried chicken and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5
Serve
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
