  • Heat oil in a wok and let the oil get very hot
  • Add grated garlic paste and garlic and then add the chicken
  • Add dried chili (optional)
  • Fry the chicken with onions, pepper, snow peas and dried chili
  • Stir in the green onions and keep cooking down
  • Add in your firecracker sauce and bring the heat down to let the sauce simmer
  • Remove from the heat once all items are cooked through
  • Cook jasmine rice according to the packet directions
  • Place the cooked rice in a small bowl until it is level with the lip of the bowl. Compact the rice slightly to help it level.
  • Flip the bowl over on a plate and remove the bowl to get the signature dome shape of the rice you see in Wagamama.
