1 1/2 lb (675 g) skinless and boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) sambal oelek (or to taste)
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 teaspoon (5 ml) chopped fresh ginger

Preparation

In a large skillet or wok over high heat, brown the chicken with the sambal oelek in half the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, brown the onion and bell pepper in the remaining oil. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the skillet and add the papaya, orange juice, and sauces. Bring to a boil and reduce the cooking liquid by half over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add the spinach and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning.
Serve over turmeric-flavoured rice.
