Ingredients: 500g chicken breast, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 3 tablespoons vegetable oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ginger, minced. 1/2 cup soy sauce. 1/4 cup water. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. 2 green onions, sliced for garnish.
Instructions: In a bowl, coat the sliced chicken breast with cornstarch. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, cook until fragrant. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned on all sides. In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the pan.
