Background

This super simple soy sauce chicken is from my memory of a TV show some years ago featuring the splendid Ken Hom. I didn't have a wok at that time but he demonstrated how easy it was to cook in one. I bought one and can't now imagine kitchen life without it! It only takes 5 minutes to prepare, 20 to marinate and 5 to cook - just right for an easy supper or as a starter in a Chinese dinner party.

Ingredients

500g skinless boned chicken (e.g. thigh)
2 Tbsp cornflour
100 ml groundnut oil
Marinade: 3 Tbsp soy sauce (light)
1 Tbsp Shaoxsing wine
2 tsp crushed ginger
2 garlic cloves, crushed & finely chopped
seasoning to taste

Instructions

Mix together the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Cut the chicken into bite-size chunks. Stir into the mixture and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Put the chicken into a freezer bag (discarding the marinade) and add the cornflour. Squeeze around to coat all the pieces.
Put the wok on a high flame, add the oil when it's really hot then turn down to medium/low. Stir fry for 5 minutes then place on kitchen paper to remove excess oil before serving.

Tips

If you don't have Shaoxing wine you can use dry sherry.
