- Add aromatics and saute until soft and aromatic.
- Add chicken to oil and aromatic mixture and “chop” into small/fine pieces while it’s cooking. Stir as needed. Cook chicken until it’s fully cooked and reaches 165 degrees.
- Allow chicken to fully cool and refrigerate.
- Add panko to oil and ginger mixture and stir to coat panko and continue stirring to toast the panko. Stir constantly and don’t leave unattended as the panko will burn.
