Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth; set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp finely minced fresh ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 500 g thinly sliced chicken breast to the wok, stir-frying for 5-6 minutes until the chicken turns white and is nearly cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
  5. Step 5: Add 4 sliced scallion stalks and 1 tbsp sesame oil, tossing for another minute until scallions soften but remain bright green.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using, stir once more, then remove from heat and serve immediately.
