Instructions

In a bowl, combine chicken pieces, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and beaten egg until you achieve a smooth batter. Coat each piece of marinated chicken evenly.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, sugar, and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fried chicken and toss to coat in the sauce.
Sprinkle sliced green onions on top and serve over steamed rice.
