  6. Ingredient Notes:.
  7. Tamari Ginger Sauce:.
  8. I use Whole Foods Ginger Tamari sauce as a shortcut for first three ingredients. It is in the refrigerator case of produce section.
  9. Minced Chicken:.
  10. I use my Vitamix to mince chicken by covering breasts with water, then using Variable speed 4 for about 30 seconds to mince, and drain water. Don't use packaged ground chicken, the right consistency of the chicken is the essence of the dish. If you don't have a strong blender, then ask the people at the meat counter to mince.
  11. Coconut Oil:.
  12. Coconut oil is available at most markets and health food stores. This is one of the keys to getting the right taste. Don't confuse with the more widely used coconut milk.
