Description

A delicious and spicy chicken stir-fry that’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs. Chicken Breast (or thighs)
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Gochujang Paste (or more to taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 3 Tablespoons Oil
  • 2 Green Onions (sliced)
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Rice

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cornstarch, baking soda, and soy sauce. Stir to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, gochujang paste, rice vinegar, and garlic until smooth. Set aside.
