Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Korean-style chicken

Total time: 25 minutes

Serves 4

2 x 350g packs essential Waitrose chicken mini breast fillets
30g fresh root ginger, finely grated
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp light brown soft sugar
1 small ripe pear, coarsely grated 
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp hot chilli powder

Place the chicken in a single layer between sheets of cling film. Gently bash with a rolling pin until under 1cm thick. Season and mix with the remaining ingredients. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Heat a heavy, non-stick frying pan until smoking hot. Add the chicken, wiping off the excess marinade, and cook in batches, turning for 4-5 minutes, until charred, piping hot and the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat. Remove from the heat. Add the marinade to the pan with 50ml water, bubble until thickened and pour over the chicken. Delicious served with rice and steamed greens.
