🍗 Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 500g boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the sauce:

  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional for extra richness)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar or honey
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (for extra flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional for garnish:

  • Spring onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds
  • Red chili flakes for heat

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine chicken, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it sit for 10–15 minutes. This helps tenderize the meat and adds a glossy coating.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked (about 5–6 minutes). Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté ginger and garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 4: Combine & Simmer

Return the chicken to the pan. Toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Drizzle sesame oil before turning off the heat.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve hot over steamed jasmine or basmati rice.
  • Add a side of stir-fried vegetables for a full meal.
  • Perfect with egg-fried rice or noodles too!

💡 Tips for Perfect Ginger Chicken

  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor — grated or julienned.
  • Adjust sugar and vinegar for sweet-sour balance.
  • Add a bit of chili paste for a spicy kick.

📌 FAQs

Q: Can I use ground ginger instead of fresh?
A: Fresh ginger is best, but you can use 1 tsp ground ginger in a pinch.

Q: Can I make it ahead?
A: Yes! This dish stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days and tastes even better the next day.
