Description

Ginger Chicken is a flavorful dish made with succulent chicken pieces cooked in a rich, spicy ginger-forward sauce. It can be prepared in various styles—Indo-Chinese (with soy and chili sauce), or Indian-style (with a tomato-onion masala base). What makes this dish stand out is the generous use of fresh ginger, which adds warmth, zest, and depth.

The chicken is often marinated and lightly fried before being simmered in a sauce made with garlic, soy sauce, chilies, and sliced or grated ginger. Bell peppers, onions, and spring onions are common add-ins for extra texture and color. Whether made dry or with gravy, it pairs beautifully with fried rice, noodles, naan, or steamed rice.

This dish is a staple in Indo-Chinese cuisine and also has variations in traditional Indian home cooking. It’s especially popular during colder months thanks to ginger’s natural warming properties.
