Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 50 grams Fresh ginger, julienned
- 1 medium White onion, sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks Green onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water or chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 1 piece Fresh Thai chili, sliced (optional)
- 4 servings Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare all the ingredients by slicing the chicken, julienning the ginger and carrot, slicing the onion, chopping the green onion, and mincing the garlic.
In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water or chicken stock. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and optional Thai chili. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.
Add the julienned ginger, carrots, and sliced white onion. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour the prepared sauce into the wok and mix well, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry for 1 more minute. The chicken should be fully cooked, and the vegetables slightly tender but still crisp.
Remove the wok from heat and immediately serve the Gai Pad Khing over steamed jasmine rice.
