Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp julienned fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast to the wok, spreading it out in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes until the edges start to brown, then stir-fry for another 2 minutes until mostly cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp ground white pepper, and 4 sliced scallion stalks cut into 2-inch pieces. Toss continuously for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce slightly thickens.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, give a final toss, then remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
