 excess. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, until
 golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

 In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Remove
 ginger slices and garlic cloves from sauce; slowly stir
 in cornstarch mixture. Simmer, stirring constantly,
 until thickened, 1-2 minutes.

 Add chicken and basil; stir to coat. Remove from heat;
 garnish with green onions. Serve with rice.
