Ingredients

• 1½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• 1 bunch scallions
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp sesame oil

Steps

1. Pat chicken thighs dry and cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt.
2. Finely mince ginger and thinly slice scallions, separating white and green parts.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and sugar to make the sauce.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
5. Add minced ginger and white parts of scallions to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to coat the chicken. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
