1. Rinse chicken, drain and cut into small pieces. Peel ginger and cut into slices. Peel garlic and smash with flat side of the knife.
2. Heat sesame oil; add ginger and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes.
3. Add Seasonings and chicken. Mix well and cook for about 6 minutes. Reduce heat and cook for another 6 minutes.
4. If you prefer more gravy, instead of 2 tbsps of water, add 1/2 cup of water instead.
