Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Honey (or brown sugar)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 50 milliliters Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onions. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), water, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat, then add the vegetable oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Push the onion mixture to the edges of the skillet. Add the chicken pieces to the center and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and fully cooked through.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and onions. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 9

Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken and onions.

Step 10

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
