Steps
In a mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with soy sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated in a nice batter.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.
While the chicken is searing, prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated garlic, grated ginger, and Mizkan rice vinegar in a small bowl.
Once the chicken is crispy and cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the prepared sauce mixture.
Simmer the sauce until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Add the chicken back into the skillet. Toss well to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated in the thickened glaze.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with sesame seeds or green onions.
Notes
The rice vinegar is a key component for the marinade and sauce balance. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to get that signature crispy exterior.
