Ingredients
- 500 g boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp, finely julienned fresh ginger
- 4 stalks, sliced into 1-inch pieces scallions
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- 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.
