  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

– 2 teaspoons light soy sauce

– 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce

– 2 teaspoons fish sauce

– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

– 1 teaspoon sugar

– 2 tablespoons cooking oil, preferably peanut or vegetable oil

– 3 finely chopped Thai or bird’s eye chillis (adjustable to taste)

– 4 finely chopped garlic cloves

– 1 small sliced onion

– 500 grams (1 lb) ground or minced chicken

– 3 sliced shallot or scallion stems

– 1 cup loosely packed coriander (cilantro) leaves

Instructions

1-Getting this sweet and spicy Thai chicken stir fry on the table is a straightforward adventure that’s perfect for beginners. Start by mixing your sauce ingredients in a bowl to let those flavors meld together before the heat hits. The key is high heat and quick movements to keep everything fresh and vibrant.

2-First, prepare all your ingredients as listed earlier, from chopping the garlic and chillis to slicing the onion and chicken. This step ensures everything cooks evenly and keeps the process smooth. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or skillet over high heat until it’s shimmering and ready for action.

3-Quickly cook the garlic and chillis for about 15 seconds to release their aroma without burning. Add the sliced onion and cook for another 45 seconds until it softens just a bit. Now, toss in the 500 grams of ground chicken and stir until it turns white, which should take a couple of minutes.

4-Pour in the sauce you mixed earlier and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes, letting those sweet and spicy flavors soak in. Stir in the 3 sliced shallot stems and 1 cup of coriander leaves, then remove from heat right away to keep the herbs fresh. Serve it up with jasmine rice, steamed rice, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, and don’t forget those sliced cucumber and tomato wedges for a cool contrast.
