Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thigh
- 50 grams Fresh ginger
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 pieces Shallots
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 50 milliliters Water
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 servings Cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips and set aside.
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin matchsticks. Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the shallots.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots to the wok. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until they become aromatic and slightly golden.
Toss the chicken strips into the wok and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned.
Pour in the soy sauce mixture and continue to stir-fry, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Add the water to create a light sauce and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Slice the green onions into 1-inch pieces and add them to the wok. Stir well and cook for an additional minute.
Turn off the heat and transfer the dish to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves if desired.
Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice for a comforting and flavorful meal.
