Description

This is an original Chinese recipe and not an Indo-Chinese fusion.

Note

1) The closest substitute to Chinese rice wine is Gin. If you don`t want to use alcohol, then substitute with apple juice. One need not worry about adding Gin, as the alcohol effect doesn`t remain once its cooked.
2) This a rather bland/ non-spicy dish. To make it spicy and Indian, add pepper powder or red chilli powder when adding ginger.
