Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 500 g boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken pieces and sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add 3 cloves minced garlic and 2 tbsp finely julienned fresh ginger to the empty side. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 4 sliced scallion stalks and cook for 30 seconds more until scallions are slightly wilted but still vibrant. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
