Sauce:
Stir all sauce ingredients together in a saucepan; cook at medium temperature for about 4 minutes; remove from heat.
Chicken:
Cut chicken into thin strips. Place cornstarch in a zip bag; add chicken to coat.
Add oil to a skillet; fry chicken. (The cornstarch won’t make a golden crust on the chicken, but allows the sauce to adhere and hold the crunch when the sauce is added.) Once chicken is finished, toss with sauce.
Garnish with red pepper flakes and chopped green onion. Serve over rice.
