- •Sriracha sauce(80g)
- •Vinegar, Rice(15g)
- •Ginger, Fresh Root
- •Garlic(60g)

Instructions
- 1Combine the sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a resealable container. Slice each chicken breast diagonally into 6 strips, add to the marinade, coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 2Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: fill the first with all-purpose flour, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water in the second, and place panko bread crumbs in the third. Have a clean plate ready nearby.
- 3Remove each chicken strip from the marinade, wipe off excess sauce, then dredge through flour, shaking off excess, then egg mixture, then panko crumbs—ensure all surfaces are coated before placing on the clean plate.
- 4Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid crowding, cook the breaded strips 3–4 minutes per side over medium-high heat until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- 5Transfer cooked strips to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly, about 2–3 minutes.
- 6Divide the sriracha chicken strips evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
