Chicken Marinade

Sauce

For Cooking

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Toss well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Add the Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour the prepared sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Finishing Touches

    Garnish

    Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving.
