Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir well to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and clings to the chicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy!
