Drain excess oil and discard.
Leave chicken in frying pan.
Add chopped garlic, grated ginger, chopped shallots, plum sauce and soy sauce and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
In a small bowl, mix together tapioca starch and water until smooth.
Add mixture to pan in small amounts and continue cooking until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
