Here's a nice, fairly easy for you.

Ingredients

1 young chicken ~2 1/2 pounds.
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
4 tbsp. oil
4-5 red chiles, finely chopped
2 slices ginger root, peeled
2 tbsp crushed yellow bean sauce
1 tbsp sugar
2 scallions, cut into 1/2 to 1" lengths

Skin and bone the chicken. Cut the chicken meat into small cubes, 1/2 to 3/4".
Marinate with salt, soy sauce and cornstarch.

Heat 3 tbsp oil and stir-fry the chicken for about 2 minutes and remove from
heat. Heat the remaining oil, put in the chiles and ginger root. When they turn
dark, add the bean sauce, stir a few times and put the chicken back in followed
by the sugar and onions. Continue stirring until well blended.  Serve hot.
