🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 2 inch strips, then marinate in the sake. Leave out of the fridge for at least 20 minutes so that it's at room temperature before cooking- this helps keep the meat juicy and tender.
- Whilst the chicken is resting, mince the garlic and grate the ginger, then mix the sugar, vinegar and light soy sauce.
- Add the oil (about ½ Tablespoon) to the pan and heat till almost smoking, then carefully add the garlic and ginger. Saute for a few minutes till fragrant then add the chicken, including its marinade.
- Add the mixed sauce and cook till the chicken is cooked through. Taste and, if necessary, add the honey.
- Garnish with sliced spring onions and serve with rice.
🥡 How to Store
