2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil. Oncewarmed through, add the garlic, ginger and the 2 finely slicedspring onions. Fry for 2–3 minutes, until just softening. Put thechicken back into the wok and toss to incorporate with the restof the ingredients.

3. Pour in the water, honey and soy sauce. Increase the heat andbring to the boil. Once boiling, put a lid on the wok (if you don’thave a lid big enough, cover it with foil) and cook for 5 minutes.
