Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken, 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Massage meat to fully coat and marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine chicken broth, the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, chili garlic paste, and the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Whisk together until blended. Set aside.
- In a wok or a wide, thick-bottomed pan over high heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil. Add chicken and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
- Add sauce mixture to the pan and bring to a boil, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Cook, whisking regularly, until thickened.
- Add chicken and continue to cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through.
- Remove from pan and transfer onto a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Cut the chicken into a uniform size to ensure even cooking. You can freeze the meat for about 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly firm for easier slicing.
- This is a quick process; make sure to have your sauce and ingredients prepped and ready to go.
