Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped (white and green parts separated)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
