Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring the pieces are well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
Step 6
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the dish and give it a final toss.
Step 7
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
