Instructions
- Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, sugar, and sesame oil in a large resealable plastic bag to make marinade. Add cubed chicken, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together water, honey, brown sugar, oyster sauce, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, mustard powder, and garlic in a small saucepan. Warm mixture over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and sauce is well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Combine potato starch, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade. Dredge chicken cubes in potato starch mixture, ensuring all sides are covered.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken and fry on all sides until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour sauce over chicken in the skillet and toss to coat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
