Chicken

  • 200 g chicken breast

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 0,5 tsp ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into cubes and marinate with the black pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder, soy sauce and sesame oil. Let it sit briefly so the flavours can develop.

  2. Cook the chicken in a pan without adding extra oil.

  3. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, sambal, flour and water.
