1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter

Heat oil and sauté chicken cubes over medium high heat to brown all sides. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened. Add ginger root and garlic; sauté 1 minute more.
Mix together: soy sauce, ground ginger, peanut butter, chile garlic paste, sugar and bouillon mixed with 3/4 cup water. Add to chicken and cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Add chile oil, cook 5 minutes more (thicken with cornstarch if needed). Let cool, place in containers and store in freezer.
