- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 2 tsp cornstarch (plus a splash of water)
- Chicken fillets
Instructions
- Combine everything except the cornstarch.
- Pour into a skillet over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir the cornstarch with a little water until smooth.
- Drizzle the cornstarch slurry in while stirring. Simmer 1-2 minutes until lightly thickened, then keep on the lowest heat for 5-10 minutes. Serve over cooked chicken.
Tips

- Simmer gently on low heat so the sauce thickens without burning.
- Serve over rice with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
