Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set them aside, ready to be added to the pan.
2. Stir-Fry the Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and onion. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

5. Finish and Garnish: Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and green onions to add a final touch of flavor and visual appeal.
6. Serve and Enjoy: This Korean Spicy Chicken Stir Fry is best enjoyed hot, paired with steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
The beauty of this dish lies in its versatility. If you’re looking to switch things up, consider swapping the chicken for extra-firm tofu or sautéed mushrooms for a plant-based version.
