Step 1
Season the chicken all over with the salt.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the cornstarch and flour. Working with one piece at a time, dip the chicken into the egg and turn to coat. Allow the excess egg to drip off, then dip the chicken into the flour mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
Step 3
Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of a large, heavy pot. Add the vegetable oil to the pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches 325°F, carefully add the chicken to the hot oil, 8 to 10 pieces at a time, and cook until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, brown sugar, and Sambal.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a simmer.
Step 6
In a second small bowl, combine the cornstarch with ½ cup cold water and mix until smooth. Add the slurry to the sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes more.
Step 7
Add the fried chicken to the sauce and cook, stirring, until coated with sauce and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
Step 8
Divide the rice between bowls. Top with the chicken and any remaining sauce. Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
