- • Marinate the chicken long enough for it to absorb the sauce.
- • Cut the ginger into very thin strips to prevent burning.
- • Deglaze the pan properly and let the sauce reduce to concentrate the flavors.
Safety Warnings
- • Be careful of hot oil splatters during cooking.
- • Use a sharp knife and cut away from your body to avoid cuts.
- • Handle ginger with care: thin strips can be slippery.
