Categories     Chicken     Mushroom     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup fish sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice
3 thai chiles, sliced
1 shallot, sliced
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 pinch sugar
3 tablespoons ginger
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
7 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 chicken breasts, cubed
1/4 ounce dried wood ear mushrooms, ehydrated and torn into 1-inch pieces
2 scallions, 1" piece
2 fresh long chiles, such as cayenne, stemmed, seeded, and quartered lengthwise
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • For the Prik Nam Pla (if using): In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, lime juice, Thai chiles, shallot, and garlic (if using). Set aside.
  • For the Stir-Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar until well-combined. Set aside.
  • or the Stir-Fry: Mix ginger, garlic, and white pepper.
  • In a wok or large skillet, heat oil over high heat until shimmering. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken and remaining sliced ginger (30g), and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is just cooked through, about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
  • Add stir-fry sauce and wood ear mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is reduced to a glaze that evenly coats ingredients, about 1 minute. Add long chiles and 1 teaspoon (5ml) water around sides of the wok and use a wok spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to wok.
  • Remove from heat and stir in scallions to lightly wilt them.

I'm allergic to peanuts. Can I use another type of nut in this recipe?

This recipe is too spicy for me. I'll have to reduce the amount of chili pepper next time.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used cauliflower rice instead of white rice. It was still delicious!

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. It turned out great!

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed this dish. The ginger flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other ingredients.
