Ingredients

Directions

Cut chicken into thin slices 2 inches long, cutting against the grain.

Put it into a bowl together with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, ginger, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.

Mix well, and then let the mixture marinate for about 20 minutes.

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until it is very hot.

Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon.

Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2 minutes until it browns.

Remove it and leave to drain in a colander or sieve.

Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 2 teaspoons.

Reheat the pan over a high heat and then add the dried chiles.

Stir-fry them for 10 seconds, and then return the chicken to the pan.

Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4 minutes, mixing well.

Serve the dish at once.
