Instructions:
1. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and add soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Mix well and marinate for about 15 minutes.

5. Add soy sauce and granulated sugar to the pan, stirring well to form a thick sauce.
6. Add the fried chicken to the pan and quickly stir-fry, ensuring that the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
7. Finally, sprinkle white sesame seeds over the dish and give it a quick stir.
