Preheat a large pot. Add sesame oil, swirl the pot to cover the base. Add ginger and stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant. Add the red yeast rice and chicken pieces. Add the Foo Chow Red Wine. Bring to a boil and then cover the lid and lower the heat and let it simmer for the next 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the chicken is really tender.
