• 500g (1 lb) chicken breast (cut into large cubes)
• Salt, pepper
• 2/3 cup flour

For the sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp harissa or chili paste
• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 bowl water
• 1/3 bowl soy sauce
• A splash of vinegar

If you change the number of serving, consider adjusting cooking times!

1. Coat the chicken cubes in flour and place on parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 25 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
2. Meanwhile, heat one tablespoon of sesame oil in a saucepan with one teaspoon of harissa, 2 minced garlic cloves, and one teaspoon of fresh grated ginger.
3. Mix well, then add half a bowl of water, 1/3 bowl of soy sauce, 1/3 bowl of honey, and 1/4 bowl of vinegar. Let simmer, then add 2 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. The sauce should become very thick and syrupy (add a bit more water if too thick).
4. Remove the chicken from the oven, place in a serving dish and pour the sauce over it. Toss well and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.
