We always had ginger chicken ,chinese version, from restaurants. I don't remember the original source of this recipe as this was something I scribbled in my diary long ago; about 12 years back. This was a favourite recipe then. But still didn't cook this for years since then and now thanks to this blog that I'm back with all my favourite recipes.
