Cut the chicken meat into small cubes and marinate with the ingredients above for 30 minutes. Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Heat up a wok with one tablespoon cooking oil and stir-fry the marinated chicken until they are 70% cook and set aside.
Clean the wok and add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of cooking oil until it smokes and add in the ginger and garlic slices and do a quick stir before adding in the dried red chilies. Stir fry the dried red chilies until aromatic and they smell spicy, then add in the chicken meat. Do a quick stir before adding in the roasted peanuts and continue to stir a few times.
Add in the sauce and stir continuously until the chicken meat is nicely coated with the sauce. Add the scallions and stir evenly and serve with rice or noodle.
