How to Make Our Sesame Chicken Sauce Chinese

  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, brown sugar, cornstarch, and garlic in a medium bowl until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken (or pork) and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the green onions and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken as it simmers.
  5. Add the cooked chicken back to the wok and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
