Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tbsp cornstarch

2-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

1 inch ginger root, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sesame oil

1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Directions

In a bowl, combine cornstarch with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken pieces evenly in the mixture.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain excess oil.

In another bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.

Pour the sauce into the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until bubbly. Add fried chicken back to the pan and toss until well-coated.

Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with green onions.
