Instructions

Prep the ingredients

Slice chicken thighs into thin strips. Cut guava into bite-sized wedges, removing seeds if desired. Mince garlic and grate ginger.

Sear the chicken

Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Build the sauce

In the same wok, sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Let it simmer until slightly thickened.

Combine and finish

Return chicken to the wok along with guava pieces. Toss gently and cook for 2-3 minutes until guava is just tender but still holds shape. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve over rice.
