It is very tender and so mild, you could eat it plain, not just use it as a seasoning. Young ginger can be purchased in the spring but may be hard to find.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken that I had on hand and it turned out great. The sauce is really versatile - I think it would also be good on fish or tofu.
