Soya Chicken Strips

I was reading through a cook book and found a very simple recipe "soya chicken wings". Checked my fridge and all I had was chicken breast and hence tried making it with chicken strips and it worked well... It came out so nice that I am still thinking if this recipe was actually meant for chicken strips and not wings...

Try it out...
