Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 200 grams Fresh rhubarb, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and Sriracha to create the sauce. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced rhubarb to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rhubarb begins to soften but doesn’t break down completely.

Step 6

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked chicken and toss to coat everything in the sauce.

Step 8

Gradually add the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot with rice or noodles.
