Potato Starch vs Cornstarch
I used potato starch, but you can use cornstarch or flour. This is just a preference.
How to make (PICTURES)
- Step 1: On a plate, add the potato starch and spices and lightly dredge the chicken thighs until evenly coated. Tap the excess out.
- Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Cook chicken in a single layer until golden and crispy on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Step 3: In a bowl, grate garlic and ginger. Add soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, mirin, and sesame oil. Mix until combined.
- Step 4: Add it to the pan and let it simmer for 3 minutes until it's thickened.
- Step 5: Return chicken to the pan. Toss to coat and cook another 3 minutes until sticky and glossy.
- Step 6: Serve it up. Spoon over rice and garnish with green onions.
