Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
8 cloves garlic, finely minced
One 2-inch piece ginger, finely minced
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon coconut or vegetable oil
White rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, continuing to stir, for another 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, fish sauce and soy sauce. Bring to a low simmer and let cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Use a paper towel to thoroughly pat dry the chicken. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the oil. Place the chicken in the skillet skin-side down and let brown without moving it for about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the brown sugar mixture and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Return the chicken to the skillet skin-side up. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake, basting the chicken with the sauce midway through cooking, until cooked through, about 20 minutes. For extra-crispy skin, transfer the skillet to the broiler for about 2 minutes. Serve over white rice with sauce.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 33m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

750 g pumpkin
125 ml chicken stock
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
2 slices gingerroot, minced
2 stalks green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon apricot preserves
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pinch pepper

Steps:

  • Peel pumpkin, remove seeds, wash and cube.
  • Heat oil in a large pan, stir fry garlic, ginger and green onions until fragrant (2-3 minutes).
  • Add pumpkin, sprinkle in sugar and sauté for about 8-10 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.
  • Add in chicken stock and fish sauce, bring to a boil.
  • Then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • The pumpkin will be a little mushy at this point.
  • Stir in preserve evenly, sprinkle with pepper and serve with jasmine rice (or just eat by itself).

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut pumpkin or squash from the grocery store.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Be sure to heat the wok or pan over high heat before adding the oil. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or pan. Cook the chicken and pumpkin in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry the chicken and pumpkin until they are cooked through. The chicken should be cooked through and the pumpkin should be tender.
  • Add the sauce and cook for a few minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the caramelized chicken and pumpkin stir-fry over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This caramelized chicken and pumpkin stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, the pumpkin is sweet and savory, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
