Method
- Set out all ingredients. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Slice each breast lengthwise into strips, then cut across into ½-inch cubes.
- Peel and mince the garlic. Grate the ginger. Slice the green onions into thin rings.
- Whisk the sweet chili sauce, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
- Rinse the jasmine rice in a fine mesh sieve. Cook in the small saucepan with the lid on, then fluff with a fork.
- Toss the diced chicken with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until every piece has a dry white coat.
- Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in the skillet until it shimmers. Lay the chicken in a single layer, spaced apart.
- Turn as the undersides turn golden-brown and crisp. Cook 5–10 minutes until every piece is golden-brown and crisp on all sides, with no pink left.
- Lift the chicken out with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet over low heat and simmer gently until it thickens into a glossy red syrup.
- Return the chicken to the sauce and toss until every piece wears a sticky red glaze.
- Scatter green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken. Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
