Ingredients
  

For the marinade

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 pound chicken cut into bite-sized pieces

For the stir fry

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced on an angle, white and green parts separated
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce and 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate while you chop the zucchini.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat in a large skillet (or a wok, if you have one). Remove the chicken from the marinade using tongs or a slotted spoon. (Reserve the marinade for later) Add the chicken to the hot pan, cooking in batches until the pieces are golden brown and cooked all the way through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • To the same skillet add the zucchini and the remaining tablespoon of oil. Cook until tender-crisp. About 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and the white portion of the green onions and stir-fry until fragrant. This should only take a minute or two.
  • Now add the marinade back into the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce until the marinade becomes a glaze and starts to coat the zucchini. Add the chicken along with any accumulated juices back into the pan and stir until the meat and vegatables are coated in the sauce.
  • Serve over rice and garnish with the remaining green onions and toasted seasame seeds.
