- Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts into thick strips, 4cm long.
- Finely chop or crush the garlic cloves. Peel the ginger and cut into pieces the size of matchsticks. Trim the spring onions and thickly slice on the diagonal.
- Heat the oil in a wok over high heat until almost smoking. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken and stir-fry for a further 5 minutes, until browned. Add the spring onions and stir-fry for another minute.
- Mix the sesame oil, fish or soy sauce, sherry, and most of the chopped fresh mint and coriander together.
