Method
Step 1
Place the chicken and 1/4 cup cornstarch in a resealable plastic bag, shake to coat evenly.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer and season to taste with salt and pepper (keeping in mind the sauce has plenty of salt in it!).
Step 4
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.
