Preparation

  1. Heat a large wok over medium heat until hot, then add the oil and heat it through. Add the onion, carrot, and garlic, and stir-fry over high heat for about 3 minutes, or until they start to soften.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken into thin strips. Transfer the chicken to the wok, along with the grated and ground ginger. Stir-fry for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and evenly golden.
  3. In a bowl, mix the sherry, tomato paste, sugar, orange juice, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture into the wok and cook until it starts bubbling and thickens into a flavorful sauce.
  4. Gently add the orange segments and toss carefully to combine.
  5. Serve the sautéed chicken immediately in individual bowls, garnished with freshly chopped chives.

Recommendation

Ensure that cooking does not continue after adding the orange segments in step 4, to prevent them from breaking apart.
