I made the marinade and then barbecued the chicken - didn't do the mushroom bit. I served it with roast potatoes and green salad. It was great - a really tasty marinade that I will do again. I should say though that I didn't have any spring onions - but the recipe seemed to be fine without them.

Very tasty and easy to do. I used the sherry that I keep my ginger in instead of sake and I didn't put the spring onions in the marinade, I put them in at the very last moment and just stirred them through the chicken & marinade. I also added some sliced snake beans at this stage and tossed them through for a minute as well. I served this with some steamed rice and used some chopped fresh coriander as a garnish.
