Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over high heat

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until browned. Cook in multiple batches if needed.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels

Step 6

Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, water and brown sugar to the pan and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Mix the 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Add the cornstarch to the sauce and bring to a boil; boil for 30-60 seconds until just thickened.

Step 8

Add the chicken and green onions to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Serve over rice if desired.
