The Dog and the Rooster were running even, then at a critical moment the Rooster cheated and flew ahead of the Dog, gaining tenth place in the Chinese Zodiac. To this day, the Dog has not forgiven the Rooster, and continues to chase him. With this dish, the Dog gets a little revenge! So all those born in the sign of the Dog, stop running and enjoy this delicious meal.

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
