Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  5. Stir in the chopped green onions and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
