squeeze the liquid out again. Heat the pork fat or oil in a frying pan.
Add the ginger and stir-fry for 1 min., then add the chicken. Stir in the
remaining ingredients, except scallions, then cover and cook over moderate
heat for 10 min. or until the chicken is completely cooked. Stir in the
scallions. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with coriander and
parsley. Serve hot with rice
