Step 1

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and place into a large bowl.

In a wok, or deep frying pan, heat a couple tablespoons of oil. Add the minced ginger, minced garlic, and dried red chili peppers. Cook and vigorously stir over high heat. Once the garlic barely starts to toast, add the Shaoxing wine and cook for about 20 more seconds.

Add the Chinese chili flakes, granulated sugar, chicken stock, soy sauce and let that come up to a vigorous boil. Taste and add salt if necessary.
