This isn't usually the ginger chicken that you get in Chinese restaurants. It is a simple and tasty recipe one of my Chinese friends likes to make. It has a good flavour and isn't too over powering. The amounts are an estimation because I have never measured it out. I usually use the liquid from the jar of the ginger not the vinegar. I usually have it with fried rice and a salad. Most of the time for this recipe is the marinating time.

Time 8h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb skinless chicken breast (chopped)
1/2 cup dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

4 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Chop the pickled ginger finely.
  • Put chicken, ginger, garlic powder, soy sauce, and vinegar in a bowl and mix. The chicken should be fully covered.

  • Turn the chicken and cover for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove lid and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens a bit.
