Time: 25 minute
Ingredients
- 450g chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Method
Cut the chicken into strips and marinate in a shallow bowl with the soy sauce, vinegar, teaspoon of oil, garlic and ginger for 10 minutes. In a wok, heat the remaining oil and add the chicken and stir-fry for two to three minutes, until just cooked. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
