4. Marinate for 20 minutes, turning once after 10 minutes.
5. Remove chicken from marinade and drain well in colander, discarding marinade.

7. Stir fry about 2 minutes until chicken browns.
8. With slotted spoon, remove chicken from hot pan and set aside.
9. Repeat with remaining chicken.
10. ***If you are using (optional) spring onions, stir-fry them now for about 1 minute.

12. FINISHING WITH SAUCE: Add sauce ingredients to hot pan and stir fry about 2-3 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
