Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips. Peel and julienne the 2 tbsp ginger, mince the 3 garlic cloves, and thinly slice the 2 red chili peppers.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the ginger, garlic, and chili to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the chicken is cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the 2 tbsp soy sauce and toss everything to coat. Cook for another minute until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the chicken.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot over steamed rice, with cucumber slices and a fried egg on the side if desired.
