Ingredients
Method
- Heat up a skillet or wok over high heat and add the sesame oil. When the oil is fully heated, add the ginger strips and stir fry until light brown or aromatic.
- Add the chicken and stir fry for about 10-15 seconds before adding the soy sauce, wine, and ground white pepper. Add the water and do a few quick stirs.
- Cover the skillet or wok with the lid and turn the heat to low heat and let the chicken cook for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the meat becomes tender. Dish out and serve immediately.
I always heat up the sesame oil before adding the ginger. It helps release all that wonderful fragrance and takes the dish to the next level. I really pile on the ginger in this dish. The more ginger, the better! It infuses the sesame oil with amazing flavor and aroma. If I'm using a smaller pan, I'll cook the chicken in batches. This way, the chicken sears instead of steams, giving it that perfect texture. Once I cover the pan, I turn the heat to low. Letting it simmer slowly is the secret to getting that tender, juicy chicken. Cuisine: Chinese Recipes. Author: Bee Yinn Low. 4.59 from 151 votes.
