Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and salt. Adjust salt to your preference.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken or Tofu

    For chicken, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. For tofu, press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes and add it to the marinade. Let both marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    If using chicken, add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and golden brown.

  3. 5

    Cook the Tofu

    If using tofu, add the marinated tofu cubes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, gently stirring occasionally until golden brown on all sides.

  4. 6

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
