Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 ½ tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ tablespoon black sesame oil
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 ½ teaspoons fresh minced garlic
½ cup water
3 tablespoons potato starch
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, sesame oil, and sugar in a resealable bag. Add cubed chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, mix together honey, brown sugar, oyster sauce, the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, mustard powder, garlic, and water in a small saucepan. Warm mixture over medium heat until sugar has dissolved and all ingredients are completely incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes.
