Ingredients

Garlic - 2 cloves
Chili Flakes - 1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce - 1 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Cut the chicken across the grain into strips about 0.5 mm thick.

Step 3

Peel and chop the garlic. Slice the green onion stalks into thin strips lengthwise.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over high heat with oil. Quickly sauté the chicken until it turns white on the outside, but remains slightly undercooked on the inside.

Step 5

Add the garlic and chili flakes, stir, and continue frying while stirring until the garlic turns golden, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add soy sauce, vinegar, sriracha, sugar, and a little water. Stir well, reduce the heat, and cook while continuing to stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the chicken slices are coated in a layer of caramel.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the sauce thicken for 2–3 minutes. Stir again and sprinkle with sesame seeds so that the slices are evenly coated.
