3 large chicken breast, chopped into bite size
1 cup cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Sauce
4 tbsp hoisin sauce
4 tbsp soy sauce ( i only use Korean it is not as salty and milder)
4 tbsp rice vinegar
4 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp water
1 tsp red pepper flakes ( i added Szechuan chilies too 1/2 Tsp)
spring onions for garnish
Sesame seeds for garnish

Steamed rice

Preheat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
In a bowl whisk together cornstarch, salt, garlic salt, and pepper.  Add cornstarch mix to a ziplock bag and add the chicken. seal the bag and shake till all chicken pieces are covered in the starch mix.
Sauté in pan 2-3 min until brown. The chicken will be raw in the center at this point but that is important as it will be cooked further in the slow cooker.
In a bowl mix all sauce ingredients. Add half to the crockpot with the chicken. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
Immediately before serving to add another half of sauce stir.sprinkle with garnish and serve with rice. Enjoy
