Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
Step 3: Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast in a single layer and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the edges turn golden and chicken is nearly cooked through.
