Ginger Scallion Chicken is one of my wife favorite foods. Whenever we have our lunch or dinner in a restaurant, she will order the ginger scallion chicken most of the time. In fact, she has requested me many times to cook this dish at home but I just couldn’t have time to do so. 😛
At last, I was free last weekend and I decided to cook this dish for her. As usual, I search for this recipe at Rasa Malaysia, my favorite food blog. Usually, boned chicken breast is used but I used chicken wing instead. So be sure you cut the chicken wings into small pieces so that it can be cooked easily. I hope you will like my version of ginger scallion chicken. Enjoy ! 🙂
