I don't know if it's because I'm addicted to caramelized chicken in any form, or the gentle note that fresh ginger brings to it. In short, this Chinese classic is simply delicious.  \n\n\n\nThe sliced ginger chicken will surprise those who usually don't like ginger and would rather go for a soy sauce chicken or something else: You don't taste the ginger as such. For those interested, I also have a Malaysian version of ginger chicken with spring onions \n\n\n\nI feel like I often repeat myself on my blog, but the ingredients in this dish combine and form something totally new for the palate, and it's delicious!\n\n\n\nNot a fan of chicken? Try my ginger beef \n\n\n\nBut how do you make a successful ginger chicken? Well, honestly, it's not difficult. In just 10 minutes, you'll have a delicious dish in front of you. If you like chicken, my chicken noodles are perfect for you    \n\n\n\nTips for successful ginger chicken\n\n\n\nHigh heat: Make sure to heat the pan or wok well before adding the ingredients, it's a key element for the success of the dish. \n\n\n\nYou need to let the heat build up, otherwise when you add the cold chicken from the fridge (if your chicken isn't cold when you start to stir-fry it, I advise you to make an appointment for a stomach wash), the pan will lose heat and you'll end up with meat that's boiled rather than stir-fried...\n\n\n\nIf you're a true culinary adventurer, try my Coca-Cola chicken recipe\n\n\n\nIf you don't feel capable of stirring very quickly after adding cornstarch, it's better to lower the heat a bit, otherwise it might burn\n\n\n\nAnother saucy sliced chicken recipe is my delicious chicken with mushrooms or if you prefer beef, here's my recipe for beef with spring onions\n\n\n\n\n\n\tChinese Ginger Chicken take-out style\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\tSAUCE60 g of Shaoxing wine  1 teaspoon   of brown sugar2 tablespoons   of light soy sauce  1 teaspoon   of dark soy sauce  0.25 teaspoon   of white pepper  2 tablespoons   of oyster sauce  1 teaspoon   of cornstarch2 teaspoon   of waterCHICKEN600 g chicken thighs (diced)3 geeen onion stalks sliced into 1cm pieces (white and green parts separated)4 cloves garlic (cut in half)3 shallots (diced)6 slices of ginger\t\n\t\n\t\tMix all sauce ingredients (except water\/cornstarch and wine) in a bowl.
