Ingredients
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons fresh ginger root, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced into 1/2 inch strips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Whisk soy sauce, honey, hot sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
2. Season chicken strips with salt and pepper.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add chicken and sear for 1 minute per side until browned.
5. Pour prepared sauce over the chicken.
6. Simmer uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes.
7. Continue cooking until sauce reduces into a thick, sticky glaze.
8. Serve immediately over rice or greens.
Notes
Dry the meat thoroughly with paper towels before searing to get a better crust.
If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of water to loosen it.
Fresh ginger is highly recommended over ground ginger for the best flavor.
