Steps

Cut chicken in half length wise then slice thinly. Place in a bowl with baking soda, use fingers to coat. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Rinse well, pat dry with paper towel then place in a bowl.
Mix together Seasoning.
Sprinkle 1 tsp of Seasoning over chicken. Mix to coat then set aside for 10 minutes (not critical, can skip this).
Place all ingredients except water in a bowl. Add remaining Seasoning. Mix, then add water and mix.
Heat oil in wok or skillet over high heat. Add onion and garlic, stir fry for 1 minute.
Add chicken and stir fry for 2 minutes until just cooked through and a bit browned.
Lower heat slightly, then add Sauce. Stir fry until it reduce down and becomes thicker - 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
Serve immediately with rice - or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice! Garnish with sliced shallots/scallions if desired.
