Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces Ensure chicken is cut small for quick cooking.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Use Halal-certified soy sauce.

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until combined.
  3. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Cooking
  1. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.
Serving

Notes

Consider using chicken thighs for extra juiciness. For a spicy twist, add chili flakes or bell peppers while cooking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to a month.
