Ingredients

Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 chopped green onions (green and light part)
  • 1/3 cup grated ginger (with any juice)
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup water
  • 2/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar (I used seasoned, but unseasoned is also ok)

  • Add in garlic and ginger, then cook an additional 30 seconds before adding remaining sauce ingredients.
  • Bring sauce to a simmer and lower heat to medium low.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let cool to thicken.

For the Chicken:
