Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, rice wine (if using), sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir to combine well. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together, stirring to blend thoroughly. Set aside.
  2. Heat a skillet or wok over high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of oil, then add the chicken. Toss and stir-fry until the surface turns white but the chicken is not fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Wipe the skillet or wok clean with paper towels, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the chicken and give it a few quick stirs before adding the sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked. Add the scallions and stir to combine. Top the chicken with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
