Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (for garnish)
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice (to serve)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and white pepper to create the marinade.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to high and add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice sear.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly caramelize and coat the chicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the chicken to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with cooked jasmine rice.
