  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Honey Ginger Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

For Serving:

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Coat the chicken – In a mixing bowl, toss the diced chicken with cornflour, salt, and black pepper to create a light coating.
  2. Heat the oil – In a large frying pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Sear the chicken – Add the coated chicken to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

  1. Combine sauce ingredients – In a small bowl, whisk together honey, grated ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes (if using).
  2. Simmer the sauce – Pour the sauce into the pan and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Coat the Chicken and Serve

  1. Toss the chicken in the sauce – Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss until fully coated in the honey ginger glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  2. Plate and garnish – Serve over rice with stir-fried vegetables and garnish with spring onions and extra sesame seeds.
