Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or brown sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 50 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the onions. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), water, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat, then add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
Push the onion mixture to the edges of the skillet. Add the chicken pieces to the center and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and fully cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and onions. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken and onions.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
