Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix cornstarch, egg, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces and coat them evenly.

2

Make the Sauce

In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili paste, minced garlic, minced ginger, and water until well combined.

Cooking

3

Fry the Chicken

In a large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4

Combine and Simmer

In the same skillet, pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Add the fried chicken back into the skillet and stir to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.

5

Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
