Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast thinly sliced, boneless, skinless
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger minced
- 1/3 cup soy sauce low-sodium
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce optional
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (for sauce)
Instructions
- Place the chicken and cornstarch in a resealable plastic bag, then shake to coat evenly.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, water, and brown sugar, and bring to a simmer. Mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with about 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry. Whisk the slurry into sauce.
