Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the chicken by cleaning and drying the boneless chicken breasts. Cut into bite-sized pieces and marinate with soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili paste for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Coat the marinated chicken with cornstarch, ensuring an even coating for a crispy exterior. Let it rest.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the coated chicken in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet. In the same skillet, mix rice vinegar, honey, and chili paste. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, tossing in the sauce to coat thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, ideal over steamed rice.
