Instructions

1. Cook the wild rice according to package instructions and set aside.

3. Mix cornstarch with water and whisk into the sauce until thickened. Remove from heat.

4. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate.

Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
