Instructions

In a bowl, combine chicken with egg, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Add chicken to the pan in batches and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Stir the sauce well to ensure the cornstarch is fully incorporated. Pour it into the pan with the chicken. Let it simmer on low heat until it thickened, about 3-4 minutes
Garnish with sesame seeds, thinly sliced green onion, and lemon wedges if desired.
