SPICY GINGER CHICKEN



Spicy Ginger Chicken image

This simple dish will be familiar to many people-it shows up in Chinese restaurants as well. Chicken and ginger go together beautifully, and some people love this dish with beef instead. Ginger is also a healthy seasoning. If possible, try to get young ginger, which has a pink root. You can also add any veggies you like to this dish.
