About the Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins, cut into thin strips

  • 1⁄4 cup cornstarch

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon ginger puree

  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1⁄4 cup brown sugar

  • 1⁄2 cup soy sauce

  • 4 green onions, chopped

Preparation

Step 1


In a large Ziploc bag, combine the chicken strips and cornstarch. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.


Step 2


Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken strips and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until the exterior is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.


Step 3


In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, ginger puree, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.


Step 4


Pour the sauce mixture into the same skillet used for cooking the chicken. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 3 minutes or until it has thickened slightly.


Step 5


Add the cooked chicken to the skillet with the thickened sauce. Add the chopped green onions and toss everything together, ensuring the chicken is well coated with the sauce.


Step 6


Cook the mixture over medium-high heat for an additional 2 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the flavors have melded together.


Step 7


Serve immediately, while hot, over rice or your preferred side dish.
