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.

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