Ingredients
Scale
- 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium for healthier options)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for added spice
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into thin strips and marinate briefly in soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Lower the heat and pour remaining marinade into the skillet. Toss the chicken to coat evenly. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the chicken and stir gently. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot with steamed vegetables, cauliflower rice, or noodles.
Notes
- For added flavor, toast sesame seeds before adding them to the dish.
- Adjust sweetness or saltiness of the sauce to suit your taste.
- Cooking the chicken just until tender ensures it remains juicy.
