Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Substitute with gluten-free tamari if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Can be replaced with honey or maple syrup.
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic Fresh garlic is preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Ginger Use ground ginger in smaller amounts if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Avoid using olive oil for true flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Onions Chives or shallots can work as alternatives.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust based on preferred spice level.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Flakes Optional; for a different flavor, try gochujang.
For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast for leaner meat or thighs for extra juiciness.

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Skillet

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, chopped green onions, black pepper, and optional chili flakes. Whisk together until the brown sugar completely dissolves.
  2. Slice the chicken into thin strips and add to the marinade, tossing well to coat. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, allowing any remaining marinade to drip off. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and extra chopped green onions.
