Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Simmer

    Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring well to coat. Allow it to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the chicken before serving.
