For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Adds a depth of umami flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Balances the saltiness of soy sauce.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Infuses aromatic richness.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Provides warmth and a hint of spice.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine equal parts cornstarch and flour, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss them in the flour mixture.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 1-2 minutes. Add soy sauce and honey, simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. In a separate pan, heat oil and sauté mixed vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Add the day-old rice and fry for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve fried rice topped with the saucy chicken, garnished with cilantro or green onions.
