Stir-Fried Chicken with Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Ginger and Garlic
Cut chicken into thin strips and tenderise a little with a mallet or blunt edge of a cleaver. Rub with sesame oil and set aside for 15 minutes. Heat oil and fry garlic and ginger until light brown and add chicken. Stir for 2 minutes and add all seasonings, except water. Stir for 1 minute to allow seasonings to be thoroughly absorbed by chicken. Add water and stir well for 2 minutes.
Chicken has good synergy with soy sauce, ginger and garlic – practically a holy trinity of seasoning. This is good Cantonese stand-by dish for a simple meal served with plain boiled rice or noodles. The best cut of chicken for this is breast sliced very thin.
