Chicken with ginger and scallion

This weekend I decided to make some Chinese food. The Chinese take out that is available here is very oily and frankly does not taste that good either!

This is a very very simple recipe which you can make while doing a million other things

Ingredients

Chicken breast

Oil

Soya Sauce

Ginger

Garlic

Scallions

• Bring a pot with water to boil. Add garlic, ginger and scallions to it.
• Once it has come to a boil add the soya sauce and the chicken.
• Let the chicken boil until it has fully cooked and remove.
• DO NOT THROW AWAY THE LIQUID.
• Cut the chicken into small bite size pieces and keep aside.
• In another pot heat some oil and saute the ginger and scallions. Add some soya sauce and bring to boil. Add some water and then add the chicken.
• Serve hot with fried rice or chowmein.

The water which I said that you should keep can be used to make Fried Rice. That is what I did.

Ingredients

Carrots, thinly sliced

Oil

Scallions, chopped

Onion, chopped

Rice

Peas

Ginger, chopped

You can pretty much put any vegetables or meat you want. I used some shrimp and I put eggs.

• Cook the rice on the side with the chicken poaching water and keep aside
• Scramble the egg on the side as well.
• I poached the shrimp in some of the chicken liquid. Throw the water away after poaching the shrimp.
• In a pot, heat some oil and add the onions. Brown the onions a bit and then add the ginger and scallions.
• Cook for about 2 minutes and add the rest of the vegetables.
• Once the vegetables are fully cooked put the rice, shrimp, egg and vegetables together and keep it on the heat for about 3-5 minutes.
