What I love most about this recipe is that it requires only a handful of ingredients, but focuses on celebrating the freshest of flavours, such as smashed fiery ginger, sweet tomato and tangy onion.

This is a really easy dish to throw together and takes very little time to do as a midweek meal. As I am preparing for our new arrival in the family, I'm trying to batch cook as much as possible and found this to be a particular good recipe to cook in larger quantities and freeze, or you could use the leftovers for the next day's lunch.

This sweet and spicy stir fry dish is perfect served along simple egg noodles or rice.

Large chunks of smashed ginger is fried with onions to give this dish it's punchy, fiery elements.

Then the remaining fragrant vegetables are added, including chilli and spring onions.

The cooked chicken is added to the mix along with all of the cooking sauces and stir fried until thick and glossy.

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized chunks
2 tbsps vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and sliced into thick pieces and smashed with a rolling pin
1 large red chilli, sliced
3 spring onions, sliced
1 large tomato, roughly chopped
2 tbsps oyster sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 tbsp kecap manis
Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the oil in a large wok over a high heat, then add the chicken and stir-fry until half cooked. The outside of the chicken should be just about sealed. Then remove and set aside.
Add the onion to the wok and stir fry for 2-3 mins until softened.
Add the garlic and sliced ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chilli, spring onion and tomato and stir fry for a further minute.
Return the chicken to the wok and add 3/4 cup (175ml) of water, followed by the oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar.
Simmer over a medium-low heat, allowing the sauce to bubble until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has reduced and is thicker and glossy. This should take around 10-15 minutes.
Stir through the kecap manis and serve with rice or noodles.
