Cut the chicken into small pieces and mix with cornstarch, salt, Chinese spices, and pepper. In a pan, brown the chicken until golden.

Remove the chicken and cook the chopped onion and carrot until soft.

Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them.

For the sauce, add the ingredients and minced garlic to the pan with a cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat until it thickens into a sauce.

Add the chicken, vegetables, and almonds to the sauce and let them combine over medium heat.

Once mixed, serve with rice and chives.
