1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites and 2 Tbsp cornstarch until dissolved.
Heat oil in a medium, non-stick frying pan with high sides over medium-high heat.
Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture and place in frying pan. Cook, turning once until chicken is white and firm (6-8 minutes per side).
Remove chicken from frying pan to a plate lined with a paper towel.
Reduce heat to low and pour chicken stock into the just emptied frying pan. Scrape the edges to loosen any stuck pieces of egg or chicken. Add honey, soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds, ginger and red pepper flakes.
Increase the heat to medium and heat the mixture until it begins to simmer, stirring occasionally (8-10 min).
In a small bowl, mix together vinegar and 2 tsp cornstarch until dissolved.
Increase the heat to medium high and pour cornstarch mixture into the frying pan. Simmer until sauce has thickened (3-5 min).
Add chicken and cook to heat through (3-5 min).
Prepare your salad bed of cabbage, carrots, and red onions. Top with warm chicken and sauce.
