Step 3

carefully add the chicken (⚠️ it will sizzle so don't throw it in!) . Add ginger and shallots, toss briefly.

Step 4

Then put the pan back on the stove and stir just until the chicken changes from pink to white all over, but not browned

Step 5

Simmer 10 min – Add water, stir, bring to a simmer. Simmer very rapidly, still on medium high (or even high!), for 10 to 12 minutes, until the liquid reduces right down to a glaze.
