Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, chopped green onions, black pepper, and chili flakes until combined.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips and toss in the marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
