This dish goes well with a bowl of rice, and it can also be transformed into a one-dish chicken soba noodles. The stir-fry will go well too with added mushrooms such as shiitake or wood-ear fungus.
As for the cut of chicken, one can use boneless thigh or breast meat. For convenience, I usually get the one labelled “chicken fillet” from the local supermarkets (NTUC/Sheng Siong). They are a great time saver as they come boneless & skinless, ready to be cut to smaller pieces for cooking.
