In a bowl, marinate the chicken with grated ginger, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat oil in a wok or pan over high heat until very hot. Add the chicken pieces and spread them out. Sear on high for 2 minutes on each side until you see some nice caramelization.
Add the green chillies, white part of spring onions, garlic, and julienned ginger. Stir-fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Toss in the spring onion greens and chopped coriander. Turn off the heat and mix well.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of side dish.

Mastering the Stir Fry:
- Stir frying is an Asian cooking technique that involves food cooked in some sort of fat, over high heat and for a short duration.
- This Ginger Chicken is a relatively easy stir fry since it doesn’t have additional veggies that will have differing cooking times from the main protein.
- The main tip for this stir fry is to heat oil in a pan or wok until it is very hot (a wok works best for stir fries!) – you can do the water test by sprinkling a drop of water and checking if it sizzles.
Next, it’s important to make sure your chicken pieces are spread out, and let them caramelise for a few minutes before stir frying – do not move the pieces right away! Only do that once you’ve added in your aromatics, and make sure the heat is high. You’ll just be stir frying for 2-3 minutes here.
Finally, turn off the heat and mix well. Serve HOT!
