1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small slices
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons hot chili pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon chopped green onion
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
3 cups vegetable oil
sesame seeds, for garnish

1
In a large bowl, combine cornstarch and water into a smooth batter.
2
Add chicken slices and stir to coat thoroughly.
3
In another bowl, combine pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, honey, green onion, sugar and vinegar.

In a wok, heat vegetable oil until very hot.

Add chicken; stir and cook for a few minutes until the chicken turns golden brown.
6
Remove the chicken, set it aside and allow it to drain.
7
Into a heat-proof container, carefully pour off all the oil from the wok, except one teaspoon.

Return the wok to high heat and add the sauce mixture; stir frequently and cook until the sauce begins to caramelize (it will turn a light golden-brown colour; watch carefully and work quickly, because the sugar can easily burn).
