Description
Spicy Ginger Chicken Delight is a flavorful dish with tender chicken strips coated in a zesty, soy-based sauce with fresh ginger, garlic, and a spicy twist. It’s quick, easy to make, and perfect for those who love bold flavors.
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili flakes, sesame oil, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the cooked chicken, stirring well to coat. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili flakes or hot sauce.
For a sweeter twist, swap the honey for maple syrup.
Boneless thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts for a richer flavor.
Serve the dish over steamed rice or with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
This dish can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or extra soy sauce to prevent the sauce from thickening too much.
