Spicy Garlic Chicken

One day I wanted Chinese food. Unfortunately, this happened to coincide with a day on which I had no money. Lucky for me I had these ingredients in my kitchen, just waiting to be brought together in a symphony of deliciousness. I found lots of recipes for Chinese style garlic chicken, but most of them were much too complicated for my modest kitchen. I took the basics and experimented until I got it right. The amounts here are approximations, so use your own judgement! This recipe also works well with thinly sliced steak.
