- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil

- 1 tsp chili flakes optional

Instructions
- Place the sliced chicken breast in a bowl. Add cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water, then toss well to coat evenly.

- Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and stir well. Allow it to simmer for 2–3 minutes until it becomes thick, glossy, and sticky.

- Sprinkle in chili flakes if using.
- Stir in the sliced spring onions.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
