Step 1

Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan set over a high heat. Once smoking hot, add the chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until browned in places. Add the ginger, the white part of the salad onions (reserve the green tops, to serve), five spice powder, garlic and ½ the chilli; fry for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant.
