Chilli Chicken
This is a family favourite - quick, easy and very tasty. Serve with boiled rice. Serves 5
Ingredients
A teaspoon of crushed dried chillis.
4 good-sized chicken breast fillets, skin removed, cuts into 1" cubes.
Around 6 Spring onions, sliced.
1" cube of root ginger, sliced into thin matchstick slivers (a teaspoon of preserved ginger will do).
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.
One small bottle (around 175ml) of dark soy sauce, a similar amount of light soy sauce and of rice wine (dry sherry is fine, too).
A wok works best for this, but a deep frying pan will work as well. Heat a tablespoon or so of oil along with the chillis until the oil shimmers, but before the chillis start to burnt. Stir fry the chicken until it's cooked, then add the spring onions, garlic and ginger, and stir for another minute or so. Then add the soy sauces and sherry, bring to the boil and then summer for 2 or 3 minutes. Serve the meat on a bed of boiled rice, and spoon sauce on to taste.
Sorry, all my recipes are a bit fast and loose, but this is as exact as I can make it.

Made this tonight...well, I adjusted the quantities, as I am not cooking 4 chicken breasts at a time. And I made a side of stir-fried veggies to go with it.
It was very yummy! A nice bite to it. Thanks, Steve.
