- ¼ cup rice wine
- ¼ cup light soy sauce

Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil over a medium heat in a wok and add the ginger. Cook for 3 minutes or until it starts to become golden in colour.
- Add the garlic and chilli and cook until also golden. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
