Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 6 stalks scallions
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Trim the scallion roots and cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces. Separate the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey. Set aside.
Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the white parts of the scallions and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir well to coat the chicken evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
Toss in the green parts of the scallions, stirring for an additional 1 minute, then remove the skillet from heat.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
