Notes: I like to use about 3 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely minced, but if you don't have fresh, use the ground. If you don't like ginger, leave it out. Thicken up the sauce with a cornstarch mixture (2 Tbsp water + 1 Tbsp cornstarch); mix until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Mix into sauce and let sit for a minute). I like to make some stir fry Chinese veggies to go with this. I use baby bok choy, baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and broccoli.
