Creating Irresistible 10-Min Prep Char Siu Chicken is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, five-spice powder, minced garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch until well combined.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil if desired.
4. Cook Chicken: Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and glazed.
5. Glaze: If desired, pour any remaining marinade into the pan, allowing it to reduce for an additional 2-3 minutes, coating the chicken in a thick glaze.
6. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
7. Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, ensuring to drizzle any leftover glaze over the top.
These straightforward steps will guide you to create a dish that’s both delicious and visually stunning, perfect for any occasion.
