Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 120 milliliters Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 60 milliliters Water
- 3 units Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast thinly and place the slices in a bowl.
Add cornstarch to the bowl with chicken and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Remove the chicken and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the oil to about 1 tablespoon, and on medium heat, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Pour the gluten-free soy sauce and water into the skillet. Add the brown sugar and stir well, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it well with the sauce. Let it cook together for about 2 more minutes.
Add the chopped green onions and sesame seeds to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked rice or your favorite side.
