Ingredients

  • For the sauce:
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon crushed ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • For the chicken:
  • 500 g chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • ¼ cup cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or neutral cooking oil)
  • To serve:
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package directions or using a rice cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to make the sauce. Set aside.
  3. Place the chicken pieces in a ziplock bag with the cornflour and shake to coat evenly.
  4. Heat peanut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Dip each piece of floured chicken into the beaten egg, then place in the hot pan. Fry in batches until golden on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  6. Wipe out excess oil from the pan. Return the browned chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  8. Serve over cooked rice with steamed broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Swap chicken thighs for breast for a leaner option.
  • Double the sauce for extra flavor or to drizzle over rice.
  • Add quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for variety.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
