  • Serves 4
  • Cooking time: 35 mins0

Chicken nibbles braised in ginger and soy with carrot and onion. It couldn’t be easier to make in a non-stick stir fry pan. Serve this Chinese-inspired one-pan wonder with your choice of rice, steamed Asian greens and extra sliced spring onion.

Ingredients

  • 1kg chicken nibbles

  • 4cm piece of ginger, peeled and sliced

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 1 carrot, sliced

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar

  • 2 spring onions, cut into 4 cm pieces

Method

  1. Bring a generous drizzle of oil to medium-high heat in a non-stick stir fry pan. In batches, cook the chicken nibbles for a few minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside

  2. To the same pan, add the ginger, carrots and onions. Stir fry for a few minutes or until the onion has softened. Add the chicken nibbles back into the pan with the soy sauce, brown sugar and a third cup of hot water. Bring to a boil.

  3. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

  4. Remove the lid, add the spring onion and stir to combine. Cook for a further 10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced.

  5. Serve and enjoy.

Top tip: Add in some extra veggies by tossing in two cups of roughly chopped green cabbage with the spring onion.
